Incense started fire
MARYSVILLE – A house fire Tuesday night that caused about $150,000 in damage started because burning incense ignited nearby combustibles.
A woman in her 50s inside the home in the 6800 block of 69th Place NE managed to escape without injuries and refused medical treatment, the fire department reported.
Firefighters responded around 6:45 p.m. to find an attached garage engulfed in flames, and fire spreading to the attic. It took 45 minutes to put out the fire. Everett, Getchell and Silvana firefighters assisted with mutual aid. Burning incense is similar to burning candles, which started another fire locally recently. As the department reported then, it is important to keep candles and incense at least a foot away from anything that can burn. The department also strongly encourages people to avoid using candles in a bedroom or other areas where they may fall asleep.
Body identified
ARLINGTON – The body found in the Stillaguamish River last week near 59th Avenue NE and Dike Avenue has been identified as 41-year-old Albert Leung of Lake Stevens. Leung had been reported missing by his group home to the Lake Stevens Police Department on Oct. 30. Leung was reported to have a long history of mental health issues.
