EVERETT — One person is dead after a house fire north of Woodinville early Monday morning.

Firefighters with Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue responded shortly after 2 a.m. to Little Bear Creek Road after a homeowner called to report a fire in their kitchen spreading quickly, according to a news release from the agency.

The caller was able to safely escape the home through a bedroom window, but another person was trapped inside, officials said.

On arrival, firefighters found the home engulfed in flames, the release said. Crews began suppressing the fire while also searching for the missing resident, according to a fire district spokesperson.

Firefighters found the person and were able to pull them from the home, but they were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

The fire was contained to the home and did not spread to neighboring residences, the release said.

The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office will now investigate what caused the fire.
