Kent Police say they have impounded a vehicle they believe was driven into a fire hydrant on Friday night.
According to Puget Sound Fire, the water cascaded from the hydrant flooded six homes and displaced more than twenty people.
KPD says they have identified a suspect in the case, but have not yet identified the person.
Several people who live at the complex believe the person who drove into the fire hydrant lives in one of the apartments and is a teenager.
Norma Abaca’s home was completely flooded. She’s frustrated the driver sped off, leaving gallons of water rushing to her home.
“You could have stayed and helped out what was going on. Why did you run away? You affected not just my family, but you affected my neighbor, and you affected everyone else.” she said.
Abaca remembers looking out the window, seeing water completely above the glass. The sight and damage sent her daughter into a panic.
“Its hard as a mother to keep it together and to tell them and explain its going to be okay, eve though that you know that it’s not going to be okay.” Abaca said. She reported the incident to her insurance immediately, which almost immediately denied her claim.
