EVERETT — South County Firefighters rescued a woman and child from their balcony during a fire Saturday night at an apartment complex north of Lake Stickney.

Around 10:45 p.m. Saturday, firefighters responded to a fire on the fourth floor of HighGrove Apartments, north of Lake Stickney in unincorporated Snohomish County, according to a South County Fire social media post. Upon arrival, crews discovered a woman and child were trapped on their back deck.

Firefighters extinguished the fire and led the woman and child out of the building, the post said. Fire crews also contained the fire to the exterior hallway to keep the flames from spreading to the units.

As a result of smoke and water damage, 15 residents were displaced, the post said. Support 7 and the American Red Cross Northwest Region are assisting those displaced with immediate needs.

On Monday, Snohomish County Fire Marshal Seth Henderson said the fire is under a criminal investigation and, so far, no arrests have been made.

Correction: A previous version of this story stated a mother and child were trapped on the balcony. Updated information from South County Fire states a woman and child were trapped on the balcony.
