Jun 15, 2012, 7:50 AM | Updated: 8:53 am

The huge plume of smoke over Kent Friday morning was caused by a house fire.

The fire started around 6 a.m. and took firefighters more than 90 minutes to put it out.

Captain Kyle Ohashi with Kent Fire says the home looks like a total loss.

“When I look at the living space, it’s extremely damaged,” says Ohashi. “How badly, whether it can be repaired or whether it has to be replaced, that’s up the insurance company and the investigator.”

The two people who live in the home were not injured.
