Several bystanders used portable fire extinguishers to fight and contain a dumpster fire next to a mixed used residential and commercial building in Everett, Washington. Community members worked to suppress the burning cardboard inside the trash compactor area and limit its spread toward the building’s exterior. When first responders arrived at the scene, they were able to completely extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported and due to the quick response of bystanders the damage was limited to the compactor enclosure and exterior siding of the building.
