A four-alarm apartment fire in the 3600 block of South 180 Street on Friday has displaced as many as 50 people, the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority reported.<\/p>\n
No residents were injured in the fire. One firefighter was sent to a local hospital for an undisclosed medical condition. Red Cross is helping the displaced residents and has set up a shelter for them at the SeaTac Community Center.<\/p>\n
The fire was first reported at 4 p.m. as smoke came from an apartment. Within a few minutes the reports changed as 911 callers saw smoke and flames beginning to come from the two-story apartment building’s windows and roof.<\/p>\n
When the first Puget Sound Fire chief officer arrived on scene, he immediately added additional fire units to the incident by raising the call to a second, third, and eventually, a fourth alarm. By the fourth alarm, there were more than 20 fire apparatus and 60 firefighters at the scene.<\/p>\n
The stubborn fire took several hours to fully contain and damaged over half of the apartments in the building.<\/p>\n
A fire crew watched over the building throughout the night. The fire investigator is determining the cause.<\/p>\n
Firefighters from throughout South King County responded, including: Port of Seattle, South King Fire, Tukwila, Burien, and Renton. King County Medic One and the SeaTac Police Department also assisted at the incident. Zone 3 Fire Explorers provided rehabilitation for the firefighters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
