At 10:07 p.m Wednesday, the Seattle Fire Department's fire alarm center received 911 calls reporting smoke and flames coming from the top of an apartment building at the 1000 block of 9th Ave.
Five minutes later, firefighters arrived and began to look for the main point of the fire and for any people who were inside. They later found a 26-year-old man and determined that the fire had spread through multiple areas of the building, compromising the roof. With that discovery, firefighters were ordered to evacuate the building with the risk of collapse.Crews moved to a "defensive position" and began to pour water on the fire, using ladder trucks and sending crews to nearby buildings to control the fire from a different angle.
