SEATAC, Wash. — One person was killed and another was hospitalized after a home caught fire in Sea-Tac late Saturday night.
Puget Sound Fire said they were called to a two-story home in the 3200 block of South 187 Street. Firefighters extinguished the fire in about 45 minutes. Emergency crews prevented a neighboring home from catching fire, a spokesperson said.
One person was found dead inside and officials took the second resident to a local hospital. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but a spokesperson said there appears to be no obvious indications of foul play regarding the origin of the fire.
Puget Sound Fire said the investigation will require laboratory testing and follow-up work to determine the cause of the fire. A complete report on the fire could take months, according to officials.
No firefighters were injured battling the blaze. Puget Sound Fire could stay at the home through Monday morning to monitor hot spots.
