Family hurt after jumping from balcony to escape fire at Federal Way apartment

At least four people were hurt Friday after they jumped from the second-floor balcony of a Federal Way apartment to escape a big fire.

The residents, including two children, were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with broken bones.

South King firefighters were called about 6:30 a.m. to the apartment complex in the 100 block of South 339th Circle.

Before they arrived, flames trapped several people inside an upstairs apartment, forcing them to leap from the balcony.

Crew quickly doused the fire, which destroyed at least one apartment and damaged others.

Cause of the blaze has not been determined.
