MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) A 7-year-old child and her father died in a house fire near Mukilteo, authorities said.
South County Fire crews responded around 3:30 a.m. Thursday to a fire in a one-story home, The Daily Herald reported.
South County Fire spokesperson Leslie Hynes said when firefighters arrived, the house was engulfed in flames. She said it was too dangerous for crews to access most of the home, and they initially didn’t know if anyone was inside.
The fire department said later Thursday that after knocking down the fire, they found a girl and her 42-year-old father. They died at the scene.
