What we know:

According to the Seattle Fire Department, crews responded at around 3:30 a.m. to reports of a fire in the 5100 block of South Holly Street, between the Seward Park and Rainier Beach area. Before crews arrived on the scene, the fire had already spread to a unit on the second story of the adjacent apartment building.

Crews initially struggled with water access but managed to quickly knock down the majority of the flames. The garage roof collapsed and continues to smoke as crews monitor the area for hot spots. Officials were able to get inside the building and have not reported any injuries so far.
