Redmond, WA – Firefighters from the Redmond Fire Department extinguished an apartment fire this afternoon with the assistance of the Kirkland Fire Department. Firefighters responded to the 6001 Apartment Complex at the 6000 Block of 136th Ave NE. in Redmond to find heavy smoke and flames in one of the units. The fire was quickly extinguished, and there were no reported injuries.

The fire department was called to the complex at 2:50 p.m. and the fire was fully extinguished around 3:20 p.m. Investigators are on the scene and working to determine the cause of the fire. One apartment unit sustained heavy smoke, fire and some water damage with no extension to the surrounding units.

This is the second fire in the 6001 complex within the last 18 months. On June 11, 2016, firefighters from multiple agencies extinguished a three-alarm fire that damaged multiple units in another area of the complex.
