On Saturday, Feb. 14, firefighters from the Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety responded to a residential fire in the 21100 block of SE 248th Street.

Aiding the Maple Valley firefighters were some from the Kent and Renton Fire Department.

Once on scene, they found an abandoned home with the roof  already burned and the second floor engulfed in flames.

The Maple Valley Fire Marshal Scott Webster said because the driveway leading to the house was so long, firefighters had to use “1,700 feet of hose to reach the house.”

He added, it took roughly two hours to “extinguish the fire.”

The estimated loss from damages is $300,000.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

No injuries were reported.
