• First Hill fire: A Thursday afternoon fire in First Hill’s Jefferson Terrace damaged a 13th-floor unit of the Seattle Housing Authority building and sent a woman to the hospital. Seattle Fire says it escalated the just before 5 PM incident at the apartment tower in the 800 block of Jefferson to a two-alarm response as crews rushed to get water on the flames. SFD said it was able to contain the fire to the original unit. One patient was helped out of the building by firefighters. Crews treated an approximately 40-year-old female in stable condition. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center. Seattle Police closed streets to traffic during the response and reported making one arrest “for a person trying to force their way into the active fire scene.” SFD says investigators ruled the cause of the fire as accidental, “the result of incense that ignited nearby bedding spreading to the mattress.”
