Sunday, July 21st, at approximately 4:30 pm, crews from Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue and the Bremerton Fire Department were dispatched to a residential house fire on Armstrong Lane NE, Bremerton. CKFRs Engine 45 arrived first and reported it was an active fire and all occupants were out of the structure. The fire appeared to have started on the back porch exterior and moved into the house and attic. Search teams were able to rescue a dog from the residence and reunite with the owners.
The fire was quickly extinguished and the Kitsap County Fire Marshal is investigating the cause

CKFR received a call this afternoon for a horse trapped at the Green Mountain Horse Camp. The horse had jumped the fence and was upside down, trapped in the fence. When crews arrived it had worked its way out a bit, but still had its back legs stuck. As crews retrieved their saws and rescue tools the horse took one look at them decided it would rather self-extricate. The horse was slightly injured, but up and walking when CKFR left the scene.

CKFR responded to a residential structure fire in the 2900 block of NE Loyola Street, Bremerton. Upon arrival crews observed heavy fire coming from the garage of the two story, single family home. The fire was extinguished quickly and the County Fire Marshal was called. It was learned that neighbors had first noticed the fire coming from the eaves of the garage and alerted the family of five. The neighbors then used a garden hose to put water on the fire while 911 was called. All family members and three animals were out of the home safely before crews arrived. Bremerton Fire and Navy Region Northwest also responded with mutual aid. The fire was contained to the garage and the cause is currently under investigation. 

5,543 diapers and 152 pull-ups! Thank you to all who donated to our Diaper Derby challenge against the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office. We loaded the diapers into Ladder 51 and the PIO Mobile and dropped them off at Eastside Baby Corner – West Sound. Suspiciously the Sheriff’s Office had not dropped off their diapers yet …. but it’s all in good fun and for a GREAT CAUSE!

A kitchen fire in the 5100 block of Hansberry Street was quickly extinguished today. A grandma was cooking for her grandson when smoke and flames started coming from the stove. She quickly grabbed the child and got out of the house to call 911. A dog, Kubi, and a cat also escaped. Smoke damage was limited to the kitchen. There were no working smoke alarms in the residence so crews installed them before leaving.
