An RV fire in Everett left a man dead and a woman in critical condition Friday morning.

The fire broke out around 10:30 a.m. in the 1100 block of Paine Field Way. Rachael Doniger, a spokesperson for the Everett Fire Department, told KIRO Newsradio it appears the individuals were living in the RV, and that it was a hoarding situation.

“Hoarder conditions in general to make it complicated and dangerous for not only the firefighters because it’s unknown really what’s in there, but also for occupants in trying to evacuate,” Doniger said.

It is not clear if the people in this case had trouble getting out of the RV.

A third person suffered smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Frank Lenzi is the News Director for KIRO Newsradio and MyNorthwest.
