Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Chief Pat Pawlak told 成人X站 7 that when crews arrived just after 4 a.m., flames were seen on the roof of the building.

Crews worked to contain the fire to keep it from spreading to nearby buildings, which they were especially concerned about due to the age of the building, its location near a major transit hub, and overhead powerlines running over the building.

鈥淚t is a very old building, that鈥檚 one of the concerns. We also had overhead power lines that we were concerned about,鈥 said Pawlak.

Crews from Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority, as well as firefighters from Renton, Tukwila, and Skyway, responded to the two-alarm fire.

There’s no word yet on what may have caused the fire.
