One person inside the home tried to extinguish the fire using a portable fire extinguisher and was assessed by first responders for smoke inhalation. They didn't require hospital transport. The fire caused significant damage to the kitchen that extended through the main floor of the home. No injuries were reported.

One dead in Pierce County house fire on July 4. Cause under investigation
One person was killed in a house fire early on the Fourth of July in the Wauna area, the Key Peninsula Fire Department reports. The blaze broke out at 2:17 a.m. in the 7500 block of 144th Street Court Northwest, Key Peninsula Fire Department spokesperson Anne Nesbit wrote in an email and text exchange. Key Peninsula Fire and Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One units were dispatched to the scene. As of Tuesday afternoon, she wrote that the cause remains under investigation. A second house fire broke out at 7:35 a.m. that morning in the 16800 block of 154th Street Northwest, on the northern part of the Key Peninsula. Officials believe the cause was electrical but are still investigating, Nesbit told The News Tribune. Key Peninsula Fire relied on support from Gig Harbor, South Kitsap and Mason County firefighters to fight the flames until crews could 'break from the first fire,' she wrote. She added that neither fire was linked to fireworks, though the fire department received eight other calls that day that were related to fireworks. No firefighters were injured, Nesbit wrote. The American Red Cross is providing support for the two families who were 'devastated' by the two structure fires, the fire department wrote in a Facebook post. Nesbit wrote that the Pierce County Fire Marshal will determine the causes of the fires. The Medical Examiner's Office has not yet released the name of the person who died, and Nesbit said she was not able to confirm the person's age or gender.

Warnings to residents after huge blaze at factory in Hallam, Melbourne
An arson chemist has been called to investigate a suspicious fire at what is believed to be a school uniform shop in Melbourne's southeast. The building was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at the scene on the Princes Highway at Hallam just after midnight on Thursday. Crews from Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and the Country Fire Association (CFA) battled the blaze for hours until it was deemed under control just after 3am. A warning was issued to neighbouring communities as smoke plumed from the blaze. Residents were warned to stay informed and be aware that they may see or smell smoke. Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police also responded to the fire and a building surveyor was also on the scene. A Victoria Police spokesman confirmed the fire was being treated as suspicious, and fire crews remain on the scene to fully extinguish the blaze. An arson chemist will visit the Princes Highway site later on Thursday to determine the cause. Anyone who has any information or footage of the fire has been asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
