MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — A laundry room fire caused about $17,000 damage to a Mountlake Terrace home Tuesday afternoon.
The fire was reported just after noon in the 4700 block of 237th Street SW, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said.
A smoke alarm alerted a neighbor who called 911.
Smoke was flowing out of the vents when crews arrived, Hynes said.
Firefighters quickly contained the blaze. Investigators determined that combustibles left too close to a heater were to blame for the fire.
No one was injured.
