Kirkland firefighters rushed to the scene of a two story house fire in the Evergreen Hill neighborhood Wednesday night.

No injuries were reported, but Kirkland Fire Department Battalion Chief Joe Sanford said the fire damage amounted to a “total loss” of the single family home, located on the 14200 block of 128th Ave. N.E.

“It looks like the neighbor reported smelling smoke 20 minutes before the call was made [at 9:30 p.m.], so firefighters had a pretty good head start,” Sanford said, noting it appeared the fire started at the back of the house.

A male occupant of the home was able to get out, but at the time of the fire, investigators said the resident’s dog was missing and feared it was still inside. Sanford said an update on the status of the dog wasn’t yet available.

“This was a serious fire,” Sanford said.

Sixteen firefighter units from Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell and Redmond responded.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
