A house fire in the 400 block of Jason Ave. N. has displaced three people.

Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department RFA first responded to the call at 10:46 a.m. and found black smoke coming from a window of the two story residence.

All three residents were able to get out safely. Firefighters contained the fire to the kitchen, where it started, though there was smoke damage throughout the house.

The fire started on a stove top and is considered accidental. REd Cross is on site to assist the family.

Many of the homes in the area, including this one, are over 100 years old.
