Two Ballard residents sustained injuries early July 22 when their home caught fire.

The blaze started in a fourplex on the 2300 block of Northwest 67th Street slightly before 3 a.m., with the Seattle Fire Department receiving the first call at 2:53 a.m.

Two men were injured and taken to Harborview Medical Center, Seattle Fire Department spokesperson Helen Fitzpatrick said. One injured his ankle while jumping from a second-story window, and the other suffered burns to his hands and feet while fleeing the building, she said.

Three other residents escaped the fire without injury, she said.

Fitzpatrick said firefighters had the flames entirely put out within an hour, but they had the fire under control much sooner than that.

The fire was caused by overheated electrical wiring in the walls on the first floor, Fitzpatrick said. She said the fire reached the attic of the house before it was extinguished.
