WOODINVILLE — Dozens of firefighters responded to a major fire in underground pipes Tuesday afternoon at the Brightwater Treatment Plant.

Around noon, workers were fusing plastic piping, sparking flames that shot down pipes extending 60 feet underground, Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue spokesperson Peter Mongillo said.

Two employees were being evaluated for smoke inhalation at the scene.

The part of the plant that caught fire — an “aeration basin” — is under construction, so plant operations weren’t affected, said Marie Fiore, a spokesperson for King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division.
