VIDEO: An early-morning apartment fire in Everett displaced 51 people, according to Red Cross Northwest, and sent one person to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Among those forced out was a 12-year-old, Anaice, who documented the flames moments after escaping and is now saying goodbye to the only home she has ever known. After waking up to a fire alarm and the smell of smoke, she grabbed her younger brothers and helped them escape. She then captured an image of the building engulfed in flames and later shared it with KING 5.

“It was all on fire,” Anaice said. “And I was like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ I was scared. I was scared for my life.” Shortly before 4:30 a.m. on Monday, Everett Fire crews were dispatched to reports of a fire at Centrepointe Green Apartments along 18th Avenue West, in the Casino Center neighborhood just east of Paine Field. When they arrived, crews observed smoke and flames. South County Fire, Marysville Fire, Mukilteo Fire and Everett police assisted.

Officials say nine firefighters were hurt overnight when a rowhome collapsed as crews worked to extinguish flames that tore through a row of homes in the Wynnefield section of West Philadelphia.

Security camera footage obtained by NBC10 shows flames erupted at a rowhome along the 5300 block of Hazelhurst Street in West Philly’s Wynnefield community at about 10 p.m. on Monday night. That fire spread to neighboring homes and kept crews working to extinguish the fire busy overnight.

As crews were working to put out the fire, nine firefighters were hurt when a building “collapsed in a lean-to fashion from the second floor to the first shortly after the main body of fire was knocked down,” officials revealed in a statement Tuesday morning.

Several of the firefighters, officials said, alerted mayday situations as they were pinned by debris following the collapse. All of those who were trapped were removed and transported to area hospitals, officials said. All of the firefighters are in stable condition.
