A man was critically injured in a house fire Tuesday evening in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
After 7 p.m., crews responded to a report of a person possibly trapped in a house fire in the 2100 block of East Denny Way.
When crews arrived, they quickly got water on the fire and firefighters found an unresponsive man in a room adjacent to the fire.
Crews had to cut a hole into the room to rescue the man.
The man, in his 40s, was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
After a search, there were no other people inside the house.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
