Redmond Police first arrived on scene and advised of heavy fire showing from the windows of the unit. Redmond Police began evacuations of the surrounding buildings and other apartment units.

Do to the amount of fire involvement on the structure the incident commander requested additional units, bringing the assignment to a second alarm. It was determined that all occupants had safely escaped the unit however it was determined that pets were still inside.

Fire crews made an aggressive interior attack to control the fires spread to other parts of the building and to search for anyone one still inside the unit. Even though fire crews were able to knock the fire down quickly, unfortunately two dogs, and multiple reptiles along pet rats perished in the fire.
