Seattle firefighters rushed to a new, multi-family building near Ballard Sunday morning. The fire tore through the exterior of a four-story wood-frame building -- along 15th Avenue Northwest. One of the residents told a KIRO 7 photojournalist on the scene that they were woken up by their dog. The fire appears to have started on or near the outside in a garbage bin, and then crept up the building.
