Seattle Firefighters fighting a residential house fire on the 2600 blk of E Montlake PL E. Appears to be a 2-story home with basement fire. Flames burned a hole in the home’s roof after burning the back porch and portions of two interior floors.
After ensuring everyone had left the building, “we pulled all fire crews out because of high-heat conditions, and the actual roof itself started to collapse in,” Stephenson said.
Firefighters suppressed the fire from outside the house.
The house was being monitored Friday morning.
