It would be easy to make the Lake McMurray firehouse the butt of a joke. The fire station burned down. But, the blaze at the Mount Vernon station was serious.told KIRO Newsradio. “We were working to become a Red Cross shelter by putting in an emergency backup generator, and we added a larger propane tank so we could have a place that would have the heat on and water, supplies, and things for the community. This is another thing that hurts us in that quest.
“They were able to pull our vehicles out of the station, fortunately,” Kranick said. “So our vehicles weren’t destroyed in the fire.”Kralnick also recounted that while station repairs were underway, one of Lake McMurray’s fire trucks was deemed too old to repair and pulled from service. Darrington’s fire department heard the news and is giving them a surplus fire truck.
Kranick said that his 20 volunteers from Fire District 15 can still respond to emergencies, and two other neighboring fire station crews are ready to step in if needed. “I’m definitely a little overwhelmed. It’s a tough job even without the extra issues,” Kranick said. “We’re all volunteers, and it takes a lot of time to organize this and come back from that, and it’s going to be a struggle.”
Kranick is a volunteer with a family and a full-time job in tech. He said that just like the burst pipes, his team of 20 will have to fight fires, deal with their insurance company, and then replace and rebuild after the fire.Federal Reserve still foresees 3 interest rate cuts this year despite bump in inflationSeattle drivers will need to prepare for an I-5 closure Wednesday night and an SR 520 East ramp closure as WSDOT crews will be working.
