Update, April 8, 10 a.m.

At 4:38 a.m., the Seattle Fire Department received multiple calls from neighbors saying flames were shooting out the windows and front door of the Ballard multiplex, said Kyle Moore, spokesman for the Seattle Fire Department. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control in 20 minutes and had it out within no more than 30 minutes, Moore said.

Moore said the woman who went to the hospital received 2nd Degree burns on her head. He said the burns were serious, but not life threatening.

He doesn't know how she received the burns, but explained that she had woke up in the middle of the fire, ran out the door, and then ran back in to save her dog.

In addition to the $200,000 worth of damage to structure and contents we detailed below, there was an additional $10,000 worth of damage due to exposure, which includes damage to the victim's van and a neighbor's window.

No other units were damaged from the fire and the one that was damaged due to exposure is still livable.
