Fire That Destroyed 6 Washington Businesses Started in Tanning Bed

The fire that destroyed a building with six businesses in Silverdale apparently started with an exploding light in a tanning bed. Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue says the fire spread rapidly Sunday afternoon through the building that had no sprinklers. The Kitsap Sun reported a customer, 15-year-old Payton Herdman, was in a bed at Desert Sun Tanning Salon when she heard a loud pop and saw a light bulb on fire. She warned staffers, but by the time they got there the room was in flames.
