Firefighters from multiple South King County agencies responded Wednesday, May 20, to an apartment fire in the 19700 block of International Boulevard in SeaTac, according to a social media post from Puget Sound Fire.

Puget Sound Fire said crews encountered a fire on the third floor of the apartment building that had extended to the fourth floor.

The building’s fire protection sprinkler system helped control the blaze before firefighters extinguished the remaining fire, according to Puget Sound Fire.

Responding agencies included Puget Sound Fire, King County Fire District 2, Port of Seattle Fire Department and South King Fire and Rescue. Valley Regional Fire Authority and King County Medic One also responded.

No injuries or information about displaced residents were released in the post.
