A mother and her daughter escaped from an early morning fire in their Lynnwood apartment after being awakened by a smoke alarm. The fire was started by food left cooking on the stovetop, Julie Moore with the Lynnwood Fire Department said. The mother escaped with minor injuries and was treated by firefighters on scene, authorities said. Her daughter was uninjured. Fire officials contained the flames to the kitchen area of the tenants’ second-floor apartment, located in the 5600 block of 200th Street Southwest. Fire damage left the apartment uninhabitable.
