Description
Officials have confirmed two men were killed and at least nine homes were destroyed and several more were heavily damaged in a brush fire in Lakewood's Woodbrook neighborhood Friday afternoon, according to West Pierce Fire & Rescue.
Crews were called to the scene of the fire in the Jamestown Mobile Home Park near 146th Street SW and Murray Road at about 2:20 p.m., according to West Pierce Fire and Rescue Assistant Chief Scott Adams.
The fire was "moving quickly," and crews were unable to put it out before it spread to homes. Access was difficult trying to get hose lines to the area, Adams said.
”I saw smoke coming up from the street and then all of a sudden flames. It wasn’t a fire. It was an inferno,” said Helga Drivas, who lives nearby.
