BOTHELL — A house fire displaced a family of five Friday morning.
The blaze was reported just after 8 a.m. in the 1800 block of 192nd Place SE. One of the residents noticed smoke and popping noises coming from a nearby wall heater, said Kate Bogh, a fire district spokeswoman.
The family escaped the burning house without injuries.
The fire caused about $105,000 worth of damage and was caused by a wall heater in a bedroom, said Brenda Larsen, fire investigator with the county fire marshal’s office.
The county chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the family.
