Fire in Seatac Apartments


Just Saturday there was a 3 alarm fire at Emerald Place By the Lake Apartments, in Sea-Tac WA.

"There were firetrucks EVERYWHERE!" A witness reported. Reporters say there were an estimated 75 firefighters from 10 area departments who responded.

Reportedly, two women are in critical condition after they jumped the balcony 50 feet from the ground.

Onlookers from the nearby casino called 911 and brought ladders to help others down. Many assisted in catching children being lowered down to safety and went into the building to get others out.

Investigators don't know what caused the fire yet, but they will be looking this week.
