Fire Blotter Semi Fire Shoulder Injury while Biking Dehydrated Hiker

From July 11 to July 17, 2025, emergency crews in Snoqualmie and North Bend responded to various incidents, showcasing the area's need for rapid response capabilities. A semi-truck fire on I-90 required crews to extinguish the flames after the driver failed to do so. In a separate incident, EMTs attempted CPR on an unconscious person at a North Bend retail mall, but efforts were unsuccessful. A cyclist suffered a shoulder injury during a trail ride, necessitating a rescue operation involving multiple agencies. Crews also addressed dehydration among juveniles at Teneriffe Falls and smoke coming from a garage in Snoqualmie, linked to a lithium battery.

The presence of a hazmat unit at the garage fire underscores the potential hazards associated with lithium batteries. These responses reflect the critical role of emergency services in managing public safety and health issues in the community. Local agencies continue to work collaboratively to address these challenges effectively.
