Clothes dryer the culprit in one fire By NATALIE JOHNSON ' nata lie@masoncou nty,com Two house fires kept Mason County fire crews busy over Thanksgiving weekend. Central Mason Fire & EMS crews responded to a structure fire at about 4:45 a.m. on Nov. 22, Thanks- giving morning, at 1422 Mason St. in Shelton. Central Mason, Mason County Fire Districts 4 and 11, the Shelton Police Department and Mason County PUD 3 person- nel responded to the fire. Crews determined that the fire began in the home's chimney. Before leaving the house, the homeowners were able to extinguish much of the fire themselves and shut off the house's electricity at the breaker box, author- ities said. Fire crews extinguished the fire and estimated damage to the home at about $10,000. Because the damage was minimal and localized in the kitchen, the residents were able to stay in their home. On Sunday, Central Ma- son fire crews responded to another house fire at 10:10 p.m. at 1022 Turner Ave. in Shelton. Crews arrived to find visible flames coming from the house. Firefighters extin- guished the fire, and all residents escaped the fire without injuries. Central Mason Fire Chief Tim McKern said this fire was likely caused by an electrical malfunc- tion in the home's clothes dryer. Damage to the home is estimated to cost $100,000. Central Mason received assistance at this fire from Fire Districts 4 and 11, PUD 3 and the Shelton Po- lice Department. Above, an electrical problem in a clothes dryer likely started a fire that caused $100,000 damage at a house on Sunday on Turner Avenue in Shelton. At right, a fireflghter surveys the damage.
