A child is in critical condition after a fire at a SeaTac apartment last Saturday night. Puget Sound Fire crews responded to reports of smoke and an alarm at 17300 32nd Avenue South before 10 p.m., according to KOMO News. They found heavy smoke coming from one unit at the Windsor Heights Apartments.
Firefighters were alerted that a child was trapped inside a smoke-filled apartment. "The crew quickly rescued one child from the apartment. No other victims were found," Puget Sound Fire said on social media, as noted by B-Town Blog. Following the rescue, King County Medic One rushed the child to a trauma center to address life-threatening injuries.
Firefighters contained a fire to one unit of a building, preventing it from spreading. A child was injured and remains in a trauma center. The cause of the fire is under investigation. KIRO 7 reached out for an update on the child’s condition on Monday but has not received a response.
