A woman was found dead and a second was injured as fire burned an apartment building in Burien Tuesday evening. Firefighters arrived at the Forest View Apartments at 12200 Ambaum Boulevard SW around 6 p.m. to find flames burning on at least three floors. Family on scene told KOMO News the woman was found dead on the first floor of the apartment complex. Another woman was hurt when she jumped from her balcony to escape the flames. “It was my house that first caught on fire,” said Eddie Gentry as he struggled to maintain his composure. “My granny, she was in there."
