The fire official says five patients were transported to Harborview Medical Center including a 56-year-old woman in serious condition.

Americans are waiting longer for disaster aid under President Donald Trump, with delays often lasting weeks or months. An Associated Press analysis shows Trump is taking longer to approve major disaster declarations than any other president since 1989. Trump also has been denying more requests during his second term. The AP's analysis shows those denials are disproportionately hitting states that didn't support Trump politically. Trump has nominated Cameron Hamilton to become director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Cameron has said he wants to speed up disaster declaration decisions and ensure that reviews are objective and fair.
