SEATTLE - Seattle firefighters remain at the scene of a deadly house fire on Friday morning in the View Ridge neighborhood.
What we know:
Crews responded to reports of a deck fire in the 7300 block of 53rd Ave. Northeast before 7:30 a.m., according to the Seattle Fire Department.
Firefighters on the scene reported seeing flames on the roof, and the fire soon spread into the first floor of the two-story home.
Although crews were able to put water on the fire and knock down the flames on the deck, the fire ultimately extended to all floors of the house.

The fire is now under control.
