04/19/2006: "Friday Harbor: Sandpiper Unit on Fire"

Here we go again. Nope, not this time.

A super-fast response from the local Fire Departments put out an apartment fire before it could spread, and end up as a repeat of the last major fire at the Sandpiper. A fire that resulted in a number of residents without shelter, and a Red Cross, Town and County response to the problem.

The apartment was locked when firefighters arrived, and found one widow broken with smoke pouring out of the apartment through the window. A quick check, and they determined tenants in and near the unit were elsewhere The apartment was entered, the fire put out.

Quite impressive to observe the process and the well polished response by the departments involved.
