SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle fire officials say a couple in their 70s have been taken to Harborview Medical Center after fire destroyed their West Seattle house Tuesday night.

KING-TV reports the woman got out of the house but her husband remained inside, looking for her, until a neighbor called him out.

A fire department spokesman says the man suffered burns and smoke inhalation while the woman suffered smoke inhalation.

The fire’s cause is under investigation. Firefighters prevented it from spreading to nearby homes.
