What fire looks like in Pierce County
Tacoma's North End, Stadium District and Hilltop have the same balloon-framed Craftsmans as Seattle, with the same fast-moving wall-cavity fires and old wiring. South Tacoma, University Place and Lakewood are ramblers with garages and fireplaces; the plateau's South Hill and Bonney Lake two-stories have attached garages and upstairs laundries. Wood stoves and chimney fires are more common in Pierce County's rural south and east, and the first cold week of fall brings them.
When you call
The dispatcher confirms release and utilities, routes a board-up crew the same night and the assessment crew the next morning, and tells you the contractor's name and L&I registration number before arrival.
