Seattle Fire Investigators determined that the Greenwood home that caught fire this morning suffered $145,000 in damage.
Shortly after 9 a.m., multiple fire trucks were dispatched to the 401 NW 95th Street where 10 to 20-foot flames were coming from the single story home.
All four of the home's occupants were safely evacuated and firefighters began an aggressive attack. The intense flames burning in the basement forced the firefighters to retreat from the home and fight the fire from the outside.
Firefighters were able to contain the flames within an hour but hot spots continued to flare up throughout the morning.
Crews did discover two pet dogs who did not survive the fire. An Animal Control Officer took possession of the pets.
Fire Investigators are calling the cause undetermined while they continue their investigation.
The home suffered extensive damage and estimates are $100,000 to the structure and $45,000 to the contents.
