Everyone was able to get out safely, but the occupants told firefighters that there may have been an eight-foot alligator that escaped the burning home.
The fire started around 2:30 a.m. near 8000 Vernon Road. When crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames and wires on the ground posed a risk to firefighters. When crews were able to put the fire out and look through the wreckage, they learned that the alligator did not escape and died in the fire.
The Snohomish County Fire Marshals will be investigating the cause of the fire. Multiple agencies responded.
