Flames can be seen shooting through the roof as firefighters work to extinguish the fire. It started behind a wood burning fireplace and went into the attic.

The fire was caused by structural wood adjacent to the fireplace overheating. There was water damage to the living room and smoke damage throughout.

Firefighters from the Anacortes Fire Department and Mount Erie Fire Department responded.

Anacortes firefighters also put out a shed fire Thursday around 1:30 p.m. at 814 27th St. A refrigerator overheated, causing the fire. A nearby home was not damaged.
