Central Whidbey Island Fire and Rescue District posted this to its Facebook page on .
At 11:57 today, Central Whidbey Fire was dispatched to North East 3rd Street in Coupeville for a confirmed residential fire.
Just before our arrival, the fire had been knocked down by law enforcement with a portable fire extinguisher. The fire damage was contained to a small single bathroom inside the main residence.
While on scene confirming extinguishment of the bathroom fire, firefighters noticed a secondary large smoke column starting to develop on the back side of the property. When firefighters got around to the back side of the garage, we discovered an approximately 15’x20’ storage building fully involved.
This second structure fire was extinguished quickly with no damage to any other surrounding buildings.
The cause of both fires is being considered suspicious, and currently under investigation.
