EVERETT, Wash. — A man has been taken to the hospital with unknown injuries following an apartment fire in Everett early Friday morning.
Just after 2 a.m., Everett Fire responded to a fire at the corner of Broadway Ave. and Euclid Ave. when multiple 911 callers reported flames coming from the building.
The building was apparently a small shop that had living quarters attached and was located behind the D&J Market, a small grocery store.
Crews were able to put the fire out in 20 minutes, and the fire didn’t spread to the grocery store.
A man was found inside by firefighters and he was taken to the hospital. The man was able to rescue his dog before firefighters got to him.
He was treated for burns covering 15% of his upper torso, arms and face.
In a preliminary investigation, it appears the fire was started by an improperly discarded cigarette.
The Everett Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
