Everett Fire units were called to the Trailside Apartments off Bruskrud Road shortly after 6:30 PM.
The fire was reported to be in the kitchen of a ground floor apartment and the resident was out safely.
Engine 7 was the first Everett Fire Truck to arrive and crews were able to get a good knockdown. In addition to Everett Fire, District 1 provided mutual aid.
The fire did spread up a vent and got into the roof of the building but crews were able to open the roof and also hit it from the attic access to quickly contain it to a very small area.
The woman who lived in the apartment will be staying with friends tonight.
An Everett Fire Investigator is working to determine the cause and a damage amount. No other residents were displaced.
