Fire partially destroys Zillah home

A fire partially destroyed a Zillah home early Wednesday morning and caused over $55,000 worth of damage.

Yakima County firefighters say they arrived to the home off the 170th block of 1st Street to find the laundry room fully engulfed in flames and fire coming out of the roof, but they were able to quickly knock it down. Fire crews say they did have an extensive mop up process with the fire reaching the roof.

Fire crews say two people were at home during the fire but both were able to get out safely and no one was hurt. The Red Cross was called in to help assist the family.
