SEATTLE — Investigators determined a fire on the second floor of an apartment building in West Seattle late Saturday night was intentionally set.
A man was arrested for the arson Sunday, Seattle police said.
Police said the man, who is a resident of the apartment, returned to the scene and told the Fire Marshal he intentionally set the fire.
The fire occurred at about 2 a.m., and crews responded quickly to extinguish flames on the second floor of a four-story apartment building after reports of light smoke. The building is located on the 4100 block of SW Edmunds Street.
One Seattle Fire Department lieutenant was transported with minor injuries to Harborview, but no one else sustained injuries.
The Seattle Police Department is currently investigating. The estimated loss is $120,000.
