An accidental fire started in a first floor unit of the %-unit Villa Plaza apartment complex in Seattle, Washington, and spread to 66 units before it was stopped. Virtually all of the other units received some damage, too. The fire started at about 2115 on a Saturday night and spread rapidly due to the extensive use of cedar siding, decorative screens and walkway ceilings. It became a five alarm fire and required three task forces from neighboring jurisdictions. This was one of Seattle’s largest residential fires in 20 years.
