Home burns on Egg and I Road; none hurt

CHIMACUM — No one was hurt in a manufactured home fire on Egg and I Road over the weekend.

Six fire districts answered a call at 6 p.m. Sunday evening at 1460 Egg and I Road to extinguish the blaze.

The structure was destroyed, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue Deputy Chief Ted Krysinski said.

No one was at home at the time of the fire. A family member living close to the home called 9-1-1 to report it.

All those who had lived there found places to stay Sunday night, Krysinski said.

Two goats were lost in the fire, Krysinski said.

An investigation is under way to determine the cause.

It took about 12 minutes for firefighters to arrive at the home, Krysinski said.

The blaze was easily extinguished, though engines had some difficulty backing up the one-lane driveway, he said.

Volunteers with the American Red Cross Olympic Peninsula chapter provided food and coffee for firefighters.

Assisting with firefighting were personnel with fire districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and Station 91.

Kyle Zimmerman, co-owner of The Hub at Front and Lincoln streets in downtown Port Angeles, adds a new coat of paint on Wednesday to an advertising sign on the back of his building that was uncovered during the demolition of a derelict building that once hid the sign from view. Zimmerman said The Hub, formerly Mathews Glass and Howe's Garage before that, is being converted to an artist's workspace and entertainment venue with an opening set for late May or early June. Although The Hub will have no control over any new construction that might later hide the automotive signs, Zimmerman said restoring the paint is an interesting addition to the downtown area for as long as it lasts.
