AUBURN, Wash. — A child and a woman were injured in a house fire early Sunday morning.

Valley Regional Fire Authority is investigating a two-alarm house fire in the 1900 block of 19th Ave SE, Auburn. Fire officials arrived on scene around 5:30 p.m.

Officials said one child is in critical condition and a woman is in satisfactory condition. They were both transported to Harborview Medical Center. The woman was in serious condition when she was taken to the hospital.

Officials said there were a total of 11 people in the home that were able to escape the fire.

Allie Morgan was one of the neighbors who woke up to the smell of burning furniture and carpet and said she ran outside and immediately called 911.

“Huge, huge the fire was probably 15-20 feet off the roof," said Morgan. “There was smoke everywhere, the rest of my children woke up by all the sirens. I think there were five fire trucks and ambulances. It was incredibly scary.”

Morgan adds she was there when she saw several people evacuating the home.

“I heard a lady yell, everybody is out, everybody’s out and that was reassuring, and then when I was on the phone with 911 the lady said they were en route so and then they were here like a minute later," Morgan added.

Residents told KOMO News it was devastating seeing everyone rush out of the house and the damage that the fire caused.

“I heard the windows shattering all over the house that’s a sound you can’t unhear," said Morgan.

The Red Cross was contacted to assist the residents and told KOMO News the following:

Our hearts go out to those who were impacted by this devastating home fire. Our Red Cross teams were able to meet with some of the residents to provide financial assistance this morning. We are still working to make sure we've contacted all family members. We know this is a difficult time for them and we will continue to provide support and resources as we can.

Morgan said it's heartbreaking that these residents are going through a tragedy like this.

“My own house burned down 19 years ago so it kind of brought back some of those memories I feel for this family and I hope everybody is okay," Morgan added.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Officials said it’s unclear the relationships between everyone that was inside the home.

Cornerback Noah Igbinoghene has followed Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt Jr. from the Dallas Cowboys to the Washington Commanders.

Acquired by the Cowboys in a trade with the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 29, Igbinoghene’s position coach in Dallas was Whitt and his defensive coordinator was Quinn in 2023. Now Quinn is the head coach of the Commanders and Whitt is Washington’s defensive coordinator.

Igbinoghene becomes the fourth player from the Cowboys’ 2023 team to sign as a free agent with Washington this offseason, with the Washington Post and ESPN reporting the former Auburn standout’s signing on Sunday.

In 2023, Igbinoghene played in five games for Dallas, getting on the field for 25 defensive snaps and 77 special-teams plays.

In his first game with Dallas, Igbinoghene scored his first NFL touchdown as he picked up the football after a blocked field-goal attempt and ran 58 yards for a score in the Cowboys’ 40-0 victory over the New York Giants on Sept. 10.

Igbinoghene was an All-State selection in the athlete slot for Hewitt-Trussville in 2016, when the Huskies’ undefeated season ended in a 29-28 loss to Gadsden City in the second round of the AHSAA Class 7A playoffs.

Igbinoghene also was a track-and-field star at Hewitt Trussville, with championships in the AHSAA Class 7A boys’ indoor and outdoor long jump and triple jump as a senior among his achievements.

Coming to Auburn as a wide receiver, Igbinoghene made the switch to the secondary during spring practice in 2018 after one college season as a pass-catcher.

After Igbinoghene’s two seasons in the Tigers’ secondary, Miami made him the 30th selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.

In Igbinoghene’s rookie season, cornerback Byron Jones went down four snaps into the second game, and he missed the third and fourth games.

In for Jones in his second NFL game, Igbinoghene got matched against Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who took a step toward earning first-team All-Pro recognition for the 2020 season with a 153-yard performance. Igbinoghene’s rookie roller coaster also saw him take the blame for a coverage bust on a key play in a 31-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Game 4 after going all the way in the Miami secondary and breaking up a pass in a 31-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Game 3.

Jones returned in Game 5, and Igbinoghene played 64 defensive snaps in the remaining 12 games.

In 2021, Igbinoghene played all 66 defensive snaps as an injury replacement in Game 6, and 12 in the remaining 16 contests.

In 2022, Igbinoghene played 238 defensive snaps, with 75 coming as an injury-replacement starter in a 16-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 23. Igbinoghene sealed the victory by making the only interception of his career in the end zone on the Steeler’s final snap.

The Dolphins dealt Igbinoghene to Dallas in exchange for cornerback Kelvin Joseph between the end of the preseason and the start of the regular season in 2023.

During his NFL career, Igbinoghene has played in 37 regular-season games and one playoff contest.

Auburn School District officials and members of Auburn Citizens for Schools gathered at Oddfellas Pub and Eatery at 102 W. Main St. to monitor early election returns Tuesday night (Feb. 13), optimistic that district voters would approve renewal of yet another maintenance and operations levy.

In the combined early results of King and Pierce counties, however, Proposition No. 1 was trailing by 32 votes in the first count, garnering 4,702 yes votes (49.83%) to 4,734 no votes (50.17 %) of the 9,436 total ballots returned in the all-mail election.

A simple majority of 50 percent plus 1 vote is required to pass a levy. The previous levy, which passed in 2020, expires this month.

But district officials were upbeat.

”We appreciate the support of the community,” Auburn School District Superintendent Dr. Alan Spicciati said after the first numbers rolled in shortly after 8 p.m. “And we’re looking forward to every vote being counted. We have such a history of support in the Auburn community that I know we’re going to come out of this with the kids finishing first.”

The levy would collect $51.8 million in 2025; $54.4 million in 2026; $57.1 million in 2027; and $60 million in 2028. The total tax rate will remain stable.

The Educational Programs and Operations Replacement Levy provides 14% of the Auburn School District’s budget. Property owners would pay an estimated $2.50 per $1,000 of the assessed value of their property for each year of the levy. Actual levy rates will depend on whether property value projections by the King County auditor come to fruition. Those projections were used in calculating levy rate estimates.

Funds from the levy are used for expenses the state of Washington does not fully cover, including all athletics and activities, special education, textbooks, supplies, counselors, nurses, grounds, building maintenance, honors and Advanced Placement education and transportation.

Many school districts use revenues generated from participation fees at the middle and high schools to defray costs to play sports. The ASD does not.

“We’re grateful we have such a supportive community, and I’m optimistic,” said Cindi Blansfield, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and operations.

The majority of levy funds are dedicated to educational programs and operations. That includes additional teachers for a variety of programs along with additional textbooks and supplies, among other educational tools in district classrooms.
