An apartment fire in Long Beach prompted evacuation of tenants and required action by a large contingent of firefighters.
Fire: ‘Housing is already tough on the Peninsula’
Continued from Page 1A
“I was out walking my dog
and I saw smoke and flames,”
Kruse said. “I got a pitcher of
water and tried to put it out but
it wouldn’t go out. I didn’t know
where it was coming from. I
went inside and felt the wall and
it was hot, so I got my dog and
we all came out here and called
the fire company.”
Shane Ahlers, 33, was home
alone in his room unaware of
the blaze when a firemen nearly
kicked his door alerting him he
was in danger.
“Sh** happens,” Ahlers said
as he watched fireman work to
contain the fire from a safe dis-
tance. He added that the Christ-
mas gifts he purchased were
likely gone due to damage from
the fire, smoke and water.
As heavy smoke billowed
from the building, more con-
cerned tenants began to arrive on
the scene, some not immediately
knowing the status of their fam-
ily or pets inside.
“When I got here smoke was
pouring out and it scared me to
death,” said Athena Wildenborg,
who lived there with her 17-year-
old son, a dog and a cat. All three
were safely evacuated.
“The most important thing is
that my son and pets got out,”
Wildenborg said. “Everything
else can be replaced.”
Jazmyn Comito, 31, was at
work at the Best Western Motel
when she heard about the fire.
She stood with fellow tenant
Trace Fowler in the parking lot
and wondered what tomorrow
will bring. Others hugged their
children as they talked about the
potential fallout from the fire.
“We’re all close here,”
Comito said.
“It’s really rough. Housing is
already tough on the Peninsula. If
people can’t stay here, where are
they going to go?
Susie Goldsmith, co-owner
of nearby Boreas Inn, offered to
help evacuees in need of emer-
gency lodging. No one from the
apartments had taken up the offer
as of Tuesday afternoon, she said.
The Southwest Washington
Chapter of the American Red
Cross was on the scene, attempt-
ing to address short-term housing
needs.
