A fire burning an old building in Burien was difficult for firefighters to put out because it spread into a crawl space near the roof.
Dave Nelson of the Skyway Fire Department said the fire, at the old school and community center owned by the city of Burien, was intentionally set.
Nelson said the fire was quickly knocked down after firefighters arrived around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. It appears the fire started on the exterior of the building.
No one was injured. Additional firefighters were brought to the scene because of the cold weather.
Anyone with any information about the fire is asked to call 206-263-2070 or 1-800-55-ARSON.
