Not sure if anyonecaught this. There is a fully involved housefire in kingsgate area. ops on Eastside fire tac-3

Never have I heard of water starting a house on fire. Who would have thought.





BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A bowl of water in the sunlight sparked a blaze that destroyed a part of a local home on Sunday.

Fire investigators said a partially-filled glass bowl sitting on a wire rack on the home provided optimal conditions for the sunlight to focus and eventually start a fire.

Investigators said the fire started at a home in the 17100 block of Northeast Fifth Street just before 3 p.m. while homeowners were away.

Neighbors noticed flames and smoke and called firefighters who doused the flames and rescued the family dog.

Damage is estimated at about $215,000.

I believe we are talking about two different fires. but i have never heard of that either. sounds quite strange to me. what are the odds?

Here is the correct news story.

A raging fire has destroyed a Kingsgate home, video from Chopper 7 shows.

The video shows firefighters from Bothell and Kirkland spraying water on the home as flames consumed the roof. Crews sprayed water on the roof of a neighboring home so the fire wouldn't spread.

The crew of Chopper 7 was returning from another assignment when they saw a large column of smoke rising over the Bothell-Woodinville area at about 1:50 p.m.

The chopper arrived to find the roof of a home ablaze. Minutes later, little of the roof was left.

There is no immediate word on injuries, but video showed no medic units at the scene.
