Fire damages Port Hadlock house

PORT HADLOCK — Investigators were focusing their efforts on wiring in the attic above a bedroom in a Port Hadlock house damaged in a house fire.

The fire broke out in the attic Friday morning, said Bill Beezley, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman.

No one was hurt. No one was home at the time of the fire, and one dog in the house escaped injury, he said.

Firefighters were called to the blaze at 10:31 a.m. after a neighbor two doors down in the 100 block of Third Street saw smoke and called 9-1-1.

Firefighters arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the roof line. The fire was knocked down by 11:05 a.m., Beezley said.

The Jefferson County Fire Investigation Task Force was investigating the cause of the fire, which was not considered to be suspicious.
