Ruston Fire

Ruston Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire at 4921 N. Pearl Street at 2:09 pm yesterday. They arrived to find thick smoke, but thankfully everyone had made it out of the building safely. The house sustained heavy damage. Four people are displaced and are receiving assistance from the Red Cross.

The fire investigator is on scene today, so Chief Torbet was reluctant to share any more details until the investigation is complete. Thanks to the entire crew for another job well done!

Does anyone know the cause of the fire??

I think that's what the fire investigation will determine. Any guesses at this point would be speculation. I'll post the results of the investigation as soon as possible.

I can confirm that Tacoma Fire responded to Ruston's request for mutual aid to help fight this fire.

Did the investigation ever determine what caused the fire?
