LOFALL, Wash. (AP) — Eight waterfront homes along Hood Canal were evacuated due to a fire and a landslide that destabilized the hillside and pushed trees into at least one home.
Poulsbo firefighters initially responded to the scene, a cluster of homes on Seclusion Cove at around 5 p.m. Monday after receiving reports of a fire in a boathouse and RV.
They found that the hillside above the homes was sliding, couldn’t safely reach the burning boathouse with their equipment, and instead called in a fireboat.
The 8 homes and the road are being monitored for damage.
