A fire destroyed two storage sheds next to a home Wednesday morning in the 700 block of Second Avenue North in downtown Kent.
There were no injuries. Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department and Auburn’s Valley Regional Fire Authority responded at 5:49 a.m. Oct. 15 to the report of a house fire and found two large storage sheds fully involved with fire behind the home.
Heat from the fire also ignited the porch of a nearby home.
Firefighters kept the fire from spreading to any other portion of the residence.
Two adults were displaced by the fire because electrical power had to be shut off to their house.
The American Red Cross assisted the two adults with housing. The cause of the fire remained under investigation as of last week.
