The Northshore Fire Department responded at 1:20 p.m. Wednesday to a fully involved two-story single family residence in the 3700 block of Northeast 192nd Street in Lake Forest Park. Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke and flames coming from the first- and second-floor windows, according to department public information officer Terri Jones.

Firefighters initially attacked the fire defensively, applying water on the fire through the windows and protecting adjacent homes. After initial knock down of the flames on the first floor, firefighters made an interior attack and extinguished the fire on the second floor. The fire was under control in approximately one hour. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The home is a total loss.

The residents of the house were not home at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the King County Fire Investigation Unit.
