For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One person was seriously hurt early early Saturday morning during a three-alarm apartment fire in the 3200 block of South 192 Street in SeaTac, the Kent Fire Department reported.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The patient \u2013 whom firefighters found on the grass below her second-story apartment balcony \u2013 was treated and transported to a local hospital by King County Medic One. Her condition is not known.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There were no other reported injuries, Kent Fire officials said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Fire, smoke and water damaged 18 units, authorities said, leaving 44 people homeless.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Red Cross was called in to help the displaced.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The apartment complex’s management also helped the residents by providing apartments for them at another nearby location. King County Metro provided a bus to keep the residents warm and to transport them to the other apartment complex.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fire was reported around 1:20 a.m. The first units on location found fire and smoke coming from the backside of the second and third stories of the three-story building. Because the fire took place during a time that most people would be home and asleep, firefighters attacked the fire aggressively to protect anyone who might have been trapped inside. Fortunately, everyone had been able to self-evacuate and searches of the apartments found no occupants.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In addition to the Kent Regional Fire Authority, firefighters from South King Fire and Rescue, Burien, Tukwila, and the Port of Seattle responded to the incident. The Zone 3 Fire Explorer provided staffing for the rehab area.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The fire is under investigation.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
