A K-9 was brought in from Monroe.
It happened just before six o’clock this morning in the 1200 block of Poplar street in north Everett.
Everett Police spokesman Aaron Snell tells MyEverettNews.com the 50 year old woman was rescued by Everett Firefighters after they breached the door.
She was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center suffering from smoke inhalation. A K-9 was brought in from Monroe to search for the man but that search was unsuccessful.
