The fire in the building off Ninth Avenue and Madison Street in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood started just after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Seattle Fire said 911 callers reported that flames were coming from the top floor of the four-story building. As soon as firefighters arrived, they searched the building and found a man in his 20s on the top floor.Crews found that the flames had spread through several areas of the building and burned through the roof.
Firefighters left the building because of worries that the building could collapse. They fought the fire from outside and used fire trucks’ aerial ladders to get water onto flames coming through the roof.The building is in a busy area where there are hotels and is not far from Virginia Mason Hospital and medical buildings.
A viewer sent us video he took from his hotel room across the street from the building that shows how intense the fire was.
