The Olympic View Court Fire was dispatched at 11:28 pm. The fire is on the waterfront hillside. It is contained, but still smoldering and access to it is very difficult. A small landslide also occurred, further hampering efforts.
CKFR made the decision to deploy a technical rescue team in an attempt to extinguish the brushfire.
Tech Rescue team members from Poulsbo Fire, Bainbridge Island Fire, Navy Region Northwest, and South Kitsap Fire responded.
The fire is not large in size, but is on near vertical, high bank waterfront with heavy vegetation.

CKFR was dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 3000 block of Melody Lane, Silverdale, this morning just after 6:00 am.
The four adult occupants were alerted by their smoke alarms and were able to evacuate safely and call 911.
One attempted to put water on the fire with a garden house while waiting for crews to arrive. The fire was upgraded to a second alarm and we received mutual aid from Poulsbo Fire Department and U.S. Navy Region Northwest.
Unfortunately, a dog died in the fire. There is heavy smoke damage throughout the structure and fire damage in the area of the bedrooms.
Red Cross has been dispatched to help the occupants and the County Fire Marshal is on scene to conduct an investigation into the cause.

The structure suffered significant smoke and fire damage throughout.

Two weeks ago Jacque Holloway woke up next to her husband and realized his breathing wasn’t normal; he was making sounds almost like a snore, but Steve Holloway doesn’t typically snore. Jacque attempted to wake him, without success. Realizing something was seriously wrong, she called 911 and found herself beginning CPR.
Today, Steve and Jacque visited Station 51 and reunited with the crew that, along with Jacque’s quick actions, saved Steve’s life.
“I remember going to bed the night before and then nothing until I woke up in the hospital the next day,” Steve recalled. What he didn’t know is that his wife performed CPR for approximately 6 minutes before CKFRs Firefighters and Paramedics arrived, moved him onto the floor, hooked him up to an AED, and ultimately had to shock him 3 times.
Steve said he didn’t know how to properly thank the crews, but Firefighters assured him that seeing him walk through the station door was all the thanks they needed.
