One person remained under medical care on Wednesday following a fire at Northstar Apartments last week.

The May 4 fire at the complex near Comcast Arena forced 38 people out of their homes. The complex is run by Compass Health, a nonprofit providing mental health services.

The injuries suffered by one person originally were thought to be minor, but he remained under medical care on Wednesday, said Tom Sebastian, chief executives of Compass Health. He couldn’t provide details on the patient’s condition because of privacy laws.

The organization is accepting money and other donations to help those displaced by the fire.

Donations can be made at any Union Bank, formerly Frontier Bank, for Compass Health’s apartment fire relief fund.

For information on donating noncash items, call Rochelle Clogston at Compass Health at 425-349-7231.
