Brier, Wash., March 25, 2021 – Yesterday a two-alarm fire at a Brier home caused more than $300,000 in damage and displaced four adults.

The fire was reported by a resident at 4:11 p.m. at the two-story house in the 3900 block of 237th Pl. SW. The caller told dispatchers he was working on a motorcycle in the garage when it caught fire.
