OCT. 15

Aid response: 7:14 a.m., (Auburn). Engine 38 responded to Lakeland Hills to help a 28-year-old woman who may have intentionally overdosed on unknown medications. Personnel evaluated the woman, treated her and put her in an ambulance for a ride to Auburn Regional Medical Center.

OCT. 16

Structure fire: 9:45 p.m., (Auburn). Valley Regional Fire Authority and South King Fire and Rescue units responded to a garage fire in the 1500 block of 10th Court Northwest. Firefighters arrived to find thick, black smoke pouring out of the garage door of a three-story, single-family home. One unit helped an occupant who had suffered minor burns, while additional firefighters attacked the conflagration, containing it to the vehicle and parts of the garage. The garage sustained significant damage, and smoke was present throughout the house. An investigator from the South King Fire Investigation Task Force began his work shortly after firefighters ensured the fire was out.

OCT. 18

Fire alarm: 6:05 p.m., (Auburn). Engine 34 responded to an automatic fire alarm in the 31800 block of 124th Avenue Southeast. On arrival, the crew found that students watching a movie had overcooked popcorn and set off the alarm. Personnel ventilated the building and the engine company returned in-service.

OCT. 19

Aid call: (Auburn). VRFA firefighters responded to the 1200 block of 11th Street Northeast three times during a 90-minute period for an elderly female who had just been released from the hospital. The first call was for a glass of water, the second was for conversation, and the third was because her knee hurt. The on-duty battalion chief called the woman’s son and arranged to have her transported to Canterbury House so she could be monitored and helped in a more appropriate setting.
