EVERETT — A two-alarm fire early this morning in south Everett sent two people to the hospital.
A woman hurt her leg when she jumped from a second-story window and a man was treated for smoke injuries, Everett city spokeswoman Kate Reardon said.
The fire was first reported around 4:20 a.m. in the 100 block of W. Casino Road when a man woke up to the sound of breaking glass and saw flames in his neighbor’s apartment, Reardon said.
About 40 firefighters responded and it took them just under an hour to extinguish the blaze.
Officials still are investigating if the apartment had working smoke detectors. The cause and damage total from the morning fire haven’t been released.
