Kyle Ohashi of the Kent Fire Department, no one was home at the time of the blaze, except the family's dog who perished in the fire. Because of the home's rural location, firefighters had to shuttle water from the closest fire hydrant, which was over a half mile away. No other structures were affected by the fire which destroyed the home. Eileen McClusky, who lived in the home with her son, had already left for work by the time someone reported the fire at about 8:30 a.m. Video: Appliance Fire Destroys Kent HomeFirefighters said the cause of the fire was a clothes dryer that overheated because a small animal had nested in the vent and blocked it. "I left this morning to go to work, and our work clothes weren't quite dry, so I threw them in the dryer, set it for about 30 minutes and went out and loaded my truck. I thought ‘well, (only) 15 minutes left on it and it will be ok.' Well, it wasn't," said McClusky. The family, who had no insurance, is being helped by the Red Cross as well as their church. Firefighters said they appreciate McClusky telling her story and that they hope it convinces people not to leave any appliance on and unattended.
