Two-Alarm Fire Destroys Two Homes, Displaces Seven in Tacoma

Two significant fires occurred in Tacoma recently, displacing multiple residents and causing extensive property damage. On Saturday, a fire broke out in a home on East F Street, spreading to an occupied motorhome and damaging two vehicles; all residents evacuated safely, though one dog died and others may have perished. The fire, likely caused by an electrical issue, also caused a power outage affecting seven customers. Earlier, on Friday morning, a garage fire on 67th Avenue Northeast spread to a neighboring home's attic, leading to a two-alarm response; both homes were empty at the time, and no injuries were reported, though at least one car was burned. In that incident, flames and explosions were reported, and the first house was a total loss while the adjacent home suffered significant damage. Residents displaced in both events received assistance from the American Red Cross as investigations continue into the causes of the fires.
