10:17 AM: Thanks to everyone who sent pics/questions after a large, dark plume of smoke started billowing from Bainbridge Island. According to an alert from Bainbridge Island city government, it’s from a “working structure fire” in the Falk Road area (map). No other details.
12:42 PM: The Kitsap Sun has since published a story saying the fire was at a two-story house and is blamed on oil-soaked rags.
And the black smoke risesFrom the fires, we’ve been toldIt’s the new age crisisAnd we will stand up in the cold
since I had no idea what they were trying to say………Working Structural Fire ¨………Any fire involving a structure and/or its contents that requires the use of a 1 ¾” hose line or larger
Hi, sorry, structure fire = building fire. That building could be anything from a shed to a high-rise apartment building (latter not likely on the island).
Kitsap Sun has since published a small story – fire at a two-story house (adding above)

The house belonged to a wonderful family of 4. I used to work with Brian. Thankfully, they are all fine but did lose their family dog. Their friend started a Gofundme:, https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-support-of-the-conti-family
