Discarded cigarette butts in a planter sparked a fire at a SeaTac apartment building early Wednesday, officials said. The incident unfolded just before 2 a.m. when a resident at the Willow Lake Apartments spotted flames on the ground floor deck of a neighboring apartment. The resident called 911 and then ran across the courtyard and pounded on the door of the neighbor's apartment, waking up the woman who lives there.

We often see devastating disasters, car wrecks, water rescues, and shootings on TV... but in real life, the emotional weight behind it is entirely different. For firefighters, talking about what they see on the job isn't their favorite topic. It's a tragedy that made national headlines in Spokane County: four students shot and one of them killed at Freeman High School.
