Snoqualmie Fire Dept.
Sunday, Nov. 8
Smoking dishwasher: At 2:42 p.m., firefighters were called to a home for a report of smoke from a dishwasher. The resident said she had been running the dishwasher when she smelled smoke. She opened the dishwasher door to stop it. Firefighters tried restarting the dishwasher, but it started sparking and smoking again. They couldn’t find a cause for the problem, so they cut the power to the dishwasher and advised the resident to have the appliance replaced.
Alarm: At 11:09 p.m., Snoqualmie firefighters responded to Salish Lodge and Spa for an automatic fire alarm. They had gotten a report of a false alarm with sprinkler activation. They found a possible source for the alarm on the second floor, and determined the report of sprinkler activation was caused by an air compressor problem. They reset the system and advised staff to bring in a sprinkler technician.
Monday, Nov. 9
