The blaze started in a shed around 4:30 a.m. in the 200 block of 94th Street NE, said Gary Bontrager, a fire inspector with the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s office. By the time firefighters arrived, the fire had spread to a mobile home next to the workshop, he said. Crews worked to save the home and then focused on dousing the flames in the shed. They were concerned about several propane tanks used in the business and threatened by the fire. None of them exploded, Bontrager said. No one was hurt. Damage is estimated around $65,000, he said. The fire appears to be an accident, but an investigation continues. Crews from Tulalip Bay, Getchell, Marysville and North County Fire and EMS battled the blaze.
