Candle Fire Destroys Bedroom

"At approximately 2:34 pm, CKFR was dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 15000 block of NW Seabeck Creek Way, Bremerton.

Initial reports indicated that a candle had been knocked over and a back bedroom was on fire. Occupants were evacuating the structure and advised firefighters there was a lizard housed in the bedroom that was on fire. Crews located the lizard and moved it to a safe spot in the home.

At 2:57 pm, the fire was reported as under control while firefighters continued to assess the structure for any extension into the walls or overhead space. Shortly afterwards, the fire was fully extinguished." - Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue
