Update on garage fire in Echo Lake

According to neighbors, the spectacular fire that blocked off several streets in the Echo Lake neighborhood last week was caused by a resident who was working on his car in a back yard garage.

He immediately called 911 and he and his mother safely left the premises. Fire fighters were on the scene within minutes. Because of the nature of the fire and the flammable materials onsite, they used foam to suppress the fire.

The Shoreline Police were not involved. No one was hurt, including the resident.
