VIDEO: A woman died in a fire at a Lynnwood apartment complex late Sunday night. More than 70 fire fighters responded to a 2-alarm fire at The Martin at Meadowdale complex in the 16000 block of 44th Avenue W, according to South County Fire. The call initially came in around 11:40 p.m. The 34-year-old woman died from smoke inhalation, fire officials said. A man in his 30s, the only other occupant in the same unit, was taken to Swedish Hospital in Mill Creek for smoke inhalation and later released.
Twenty people, including 10 children — one of whom was an infant, were displaced by the fire. In total, the fire impacted eight units, but no one else was injured. The Snohomish County fire marshal is investigating the fire, which is believed to have started outside in a breezeway next to the apartments.
Fire officials said the ground floor unit occupied by the man and the woman had a smoke alarm, but it is not known if it was working. The Everett, Mukilteo and Bothell fire departments also provided support in the fire fight. Officials said the icy roof made fighting the blaze more difficult.
