SEATTLE — Seattle firefighters responded to a house fire in the University District neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.

Around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews headed to reports of a fire near the University Playground Park. Responding teams reported that the fire in the back of the house involved the porch, basement, and first floor.

By just after 7 p.m., SFD had extinguished the flames and confirmed nobody was in the house or injured.
