A two-alarm fire destroyed a townhouse apartment in Puyallup’s Summit neighborhood, burning five people out of their home.

A call to 911 came in just before 10:00 p.m. Friday, about a fire that broke out at the three-story Wynstone Townhomes, in the 5600 block of 121st St. E.

That’s just east of Canyon Rd., about a mile south of SR 512.

When firefighters arrived, they say flames were shooting through the roof.

Central Pierce Fire and Rescue officials say the response included nine fire engines, three medic units and seven command vehicles.
