The fire on the 20900 block of Larch Way broke out in the basement of a two-story house, and was reported about 4:30 p.m., said Lt. Glen Webster of the Lynnwood Fire Department. No one was injured, but a number of pets were killed, Webster said.
Five engine companies from the Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Fire District 1 departments battled the blaze, which was "knocked down" after 30 minutes, Webster said.
The house, he said, was still standing but was a total loss. He did not know what started the fire.
