Kirkland firefighters extinguished a house fire caused by a discarded cigarette in the Finn Hill neighborhood early this morning.

No injuries were reported of the five occupants living at the 8000 block of NE 126th Place, but one firefighter suffered minor injuries, according to the Kirkland firefighter’s Facebook page. Details of the minor injuries are still being confirmed, however, Battalion Chief Larry Peabody said he knows of a firefighter who sustained a neck strain.

The fire, which started at the deck from a discarded cigarette at 5:02 a.m., eventually spread up the house exterior, which crawled upwards to the attic. Peabody said the estimated cost of damage to the property is $25,000 and $10,000 worth of damage to the owners’ contents.

Firefighters initially weren’t given the correct address, causing a slight delayed response.

“That’s why it’s really important to know the address,” Peabody said, noting the fire took 15 minutes to control.

Kirkland, Bellevue, and Northshore firefighters responded to the fire.
