Fire at Sears leaves extensive smoke and water damage

Shoreline Firefighters, assisted by Seattle and Northshore, quickly cleaned up a fire at Sears Thursday, July 18, 2013. Crews arrived to find the store full of potentially deadly smoke. They extinguished the blaze, which was confined to a shelf of bed linens. All evacuated safely.

The store's sprinkler system kept the flames from quickly spreading -- but there is extensive smoke and water damage. King County Fire Investigation Unit is at work to determine the cause of the blaze.
