Cigarette blamed for fatal Lynnwood house blaze
A smoldering cigarette caused a Lynnwood fire that killed Lester and Edna Dahlberg, longtime Meadowdale residents. The single story home burned over an hour before reports reached responders at 11:31 a.m. on September 11. Investigators from the Lynnwood and Snohomish County agencies concluded the blaze. The Dahlbergs, in frail health, may have had trouble exiting. They leave one son, David, who lives on the same lot, and their family noted the father bought land and the couple built the home on inherited parcels 25 to 30 years ago.
