A Silverdale home improvement store suffered extensive fire damage to a storage room and smoke damage throughout the building after a fire broke out Feb. 23 at 10:47 p.m.

Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews observed smoke coming from the roof of the Seattle Lighting store and immediately upgraded the call to a commercial structure fire. A command center was established and the call was upgraded again to a second alarm.

Upon entry firefighters discovered the fire in the back storage area of the business. The fire was quickly extinguished and the structure was ventilated.  The fire was contained to Seattle Lighting and did not extend to any of the seven other businesses in the strip mall.

Seattle Lighting is located at 10876 Myhre Place NW in Silverdale.

Firefighters checked for hot spots once the fire was put out.

Units from Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue and Navy Region Northwest responded.
