BURIEN, Wash. — A sergeant with the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) and a civilian were injured in a 2-alarm fire Saturday afternoon.
The fire started at a building in the 15600 block of 8th Avenue SW in Burien around 1 p.m. Saturday.
A KCSO sergeant discovered the fire, according to a tweet from the agency, and alerted the fire department. South King County fire crews responded and quickly called a second alarm on the fire to bring in more resources.
The sergeant, who has not been identified, and an occupant of the building sustained minor injuries in the fire and were taken to a local hospital for treatment. The sergeant has since been released. The civilian's condition was not immediately available Saturday afternoon.
It's unclear how the fire started at this time. A KCSO fire investigator is at the scene gathering more information.
