Mercer Island

Man suffers burns in house fire

A fire ripped through a two-story Mercer Island home Tuesday afternoon, leaving one man with minor burns.

The fire started about 3 p.m. in the 7700 block of Southeast 58th Street, near Groveland Park and Lake Washington. The home was unoccupied and had been stripped for a remodel, said Darrel Gordon, a Mercer Island fire battalion chief.

The contractor working inside the home suffered minor burns when he tried to extinguish the fire.

Firefighters took about a half-hour to get the blaze under control. The cause is under investigation.
