MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say a 7-year-old child and her father died in a house fire near Mukilteo. The Daily Herald reports South County Fire crews responded around 3:30 a.m. Thursday to a fire in a one-story home. South County Fire spokesperson Leslie Hynes says when firefighters arrived, the house was engulfed in flames. She said it was too dangerous for crews to access most of the home, and they initially didn’t know if anyone was inside. The fire department said later Thursday that after knocking down the fire, they found the girl and her 42-year-old father. They died at the scene. The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
