A fire damaged a Kent apartment Saturday afternoon, the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority reported.<\/p>\n
Warned by a fire alarm, everybody was able to safely get out of their homes of a six-unit complex in the 23200 block of 88th Avenue Southeast, fire officials said. One of the residents did breathe in some smoke, and as a precaution he was sent to a local hospital.<\/p>\n
Residents of the burned unit were not home at the time of the fire.<\/p>\n
Firefighters responded at 2:30 p.m. to an apartment fire on the third floor of the complex.<\/p>\n
As the first Puget Sound Fire unit pulled up to the complex, the bedroom window broke out because of the high heat and flames. Quint 76 – a combination of a fire engine and an elevated water pipe that can quickly lift up and place a large amount of water on a fire – pulled an attack line and shot water directly through the bedroom window from outside, knocking down the fire. Other units entered the apartment and put the fire out.<\/p>\n
Water damaged two apartment below the fire.<\/p>\n
On-site management staff and the American Red Cross were helping residents with their needs.<\/p>\n
Units from Renton Regional Fire Authority, South King County Medic One and Zone 3 Rehab Team also responded to the incident.<\/p>\n
The fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
