Monroe home destroyed by fire MONROE – A family's home was destroyed and their cats are missing after a blaze this afternoon.Crews could see smoke as they were arriving at a house off Cherry Valley Road about 12:30 p.m., Monroe Fire District spokeswoman Richelle Risdon said. The house was engulfed in flames. Firefighters attacked the blaze from the outside. Crews had a hard time getting their firefighting equipment to the house. “It was a very long, steep and narrow driveway. It was extremely difficult access for firefighters,” Risdon said. She urged people with long driveways to mark their address on the main road. Everyone who was at home got out safely, but the homeowner's cats weren't immediately found. It took crews more than an hour to knock down the flames. A Snohomish County Fire Marshal's investigator estimated the damage at $250,000. The fire started in the family room, but the cause was still under investigation this afternoon, Risdon said. |
