MARYSVILLE – The Marysville Fire District was dispatched to a residential fire in the 1100 block of Marine Drive NE at 3:12 p.m. on Dec. 15. Firefighters arrived at 3:20 p.m. and located a fire in a single story residential structure.

Original reports stated the house was on fire with smoke and flames showing. The first arriving captain reported a one-story fully involved residential structure. Firefighters fought the fire defensively and the fire was under control within 40 minutes, confined to the structure. It appears the structure was vacant. No firefighter injuries were reported.

The loss has been estimated at $80,000.

At the height of the incident more than 20 firefighters battled the blaze with mutual aid provided by the Tulalip Bay (Fire District 15), Silvana Fire Department (Snohomish County Fire District 19), and Getchell (Fire District 22).

The fire is being investigated by the Snohomish County Fire Marshal's Office and the Tulalip Police Department, and the cause has not been determined.
