October 27, 1991. Puyallup, WA. This fire could have been prevented if the person who’s mattress had caught fire not leaned it against an exterior wall of the structure when it was removed. Thinking the mattress was extinguished, the fire smoldered and worked it’s way inside the wall and the rest is history. No injuries. Heavy damage.
