When a Kenmore citizen heard breaking glass early Sunday morning, he looked out the window and saw fire coming from the house next door and dialed 911. At 1:16 a.m., Northshore firefighters arrived in the 17000 block of 71st Avenue N.E. to find flames rolling out from the back of the house where the family room was located. The fire was upgraded to a second alarm. Firefighters had the fire under control in 25 minutes. They remained on scene for four hours.

The vacant house was for sale. Damages are estimated at $30,000. There were no injuries. The fire is under investigation by the King County Fire Investigation Unit.
