Wetmore Corridor Has Seen Recent Incidents
Per the City of Everett, the Wetmore corridor has been no stranger to fire crews in recent weeks. Officials pointed to multiple recent incidents, including a Jan. 23 house fire that required extended operations, and used those cases to remind residents about basics like keeping smoke alarms in working order and making sure exits stay clear.
A local outlet that covered the Jan. 23 blaze, My Everett News, reported comments from the homeowner about the extent of the damage and the long recovery ahead. Those accounts highlighted how quickly fire can tear through older homes and why firefighters keep emphasizing caution with heaters and open flames.
The cause of Sunday's triplex fire has not yet been released. The Everett Fire Marshal will investigate, and the department's Facebook post remains the primary public update for now. Officials asked anyone with information to contact local authorities, and the department again warned residents to stay away from the area while crews finish operations.
