The children's mother and two other children, an eight-year-old daughter and a four-year-old son, died in the blaze. The townhouse did not have a ground-floor smoke alarm.

I live 1/2 mile away on the same street but missed all the commotion this morning. Sad that there was a casualty.
1 FaverQuoted: The news about this morning's fire just got grimmer: the P-I reports an elderly man, the last tenant of the apartment building scheduled for destruction, has died before he could even make it to the hospital. The man, in his 80s, was supposed to move out today or face eviction. KING 5 has video of the fire, and a quote from Dennis Saxman, development gadfly, about the victim: "He was having a hard time letting go."
