Puget Sound Regional Fire called this a recovery mission, with at least one male believed to be dead from the incident. “Initially we were in rescue mode, but then we’ve really turned it over to recovery mode,” Puget Sound Fire spokesperson Pat Pawlak said. “Just the sheer weight of the dirt. You think about when you’re having to breathe and then you have all this weight on you, your chest just can’t move in order to breathe air.”Emergency responders have closed numerous roads in the area.
