in the 700 block of Fifth Avenue South<\/a>, according to a Puget Sound Fire media release. Investigators ruled the fire was accidental and caused by cooking.<\/p>\nFirefighters from the closest fire station could see a column of smoke as they left their station and upgraded the fire status to include additional units.<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the single-story apartment complex, they found heavy smoke and fire coming from one of the units. While one crew aggressively attacked the fire, another went to the flat roof to cut a hole and extinguish the fire that had spread into the attic space.<\/p>\n
Although only one apartment suffered fire damage, two others were affected by smoke.<\/p>\n
One child was treated for possible smoke inhalation and sent to a local hospital as a precaution. There were no other injuries. Red Cross assisted the two adults and three children displaced by the fire.<\/p>\n
Units from Valley RFA and South King Fire and Rescue assisted Puget Sound Fire. Medic One and Zone 3 rehab units were also involved. <\/p>\n
At approximately 4 a.m. Thursday, Puget Sound firefighters responded to a restaurant fire in the 1600 block of West Meeker Street. At 4:30 p.m., many of the same crews responded to a house fire in the 25300 block of 30th Avenue South on the West Hill. The cause of those fires remains under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
