Several fire crews, accompanied by police and other emergency workers, are putting out a fire at a single-family home in View Ridge tonight.
Firetrucks were called to the house, which is under construction, at about 8:20 p.m. after the next-door neighbor heard an explosion, then looked outside to see flames coming from the house, at 7350 58th Ave NE.
Smoke filtered from the house as firefighters pounded through boarded-up windows. Smoke rose high over the single-story home, which sits above Magnuson Park to the east.
Neighbors lined the sidewalk amid tangled hoses as firefighters across the street sprayed water into the home. There was no immediate word on the cause of the fire, which is under investigation. No one was believed to be injured.
At 9:10 p.m., firefighters were still containing the fire and had not yet appeared to have fully entered the home.
