New tonight. Family members say a woman
who escaped a burning mobile home in Woodinville
lost everything in the fire, including her longtime partner.
The woman's stepmom says
he may have died when he went back inside to try and save her.
Fox 13's Jennifer Dowling has the story.
This is the couple's mobile home that burned right behind me.
You can still see there is fire tape around the building.
Fire officials say that the fire started in the kitchen.
And family members tell me the community is coming together
to try to help the woman
who survived to recover following this tragedy.
This is security video showing the intense fire
that took over this Little Bear Creek Road home at around 2 a.m.
Neighbors say Angie and her longtime partner Don were inside.
He could be seen initially running out
the door as the flames filled the home.
He yelled for Angie before finally going back inside
and disappearing in the flames.
A family member told us by phone that Angie was asleep in another room
and eventually escaped out a back window.
It must have been really scary for her.
Joy Valencia lives just down the block.
You could see outside like...
There was a lot of smoke.
Because the fire spread so fast, the mobile home was a total loss.
In addition to taking Don's life,
family members say at least one of the couple's cats
was also found deceased from the fire.
They feel fortunate Angie made it out.
You have to be able to think fast and everything,
and not a lot of people have that in them.
A loved one started this GoFundMe online fundraiser for her.
It reads, Angie and Don were asleep in their mobile home
when it caught fire at...
2 a.m. Don went back into the fire to try to save Angie and he died.
On top of this heartbreaking
loss, she is now facing the reality of starting over with nothing.
Angie and Don were renting
their home and there was no insurance to help cover what was lost.
Neighbors hope she's able
to pull through with the support of community.
It's a really tragic thing and I wish that none
of that would have happened.
I reached out to fire officials to see if they had determined
A cause for this fire, and I'm waiting to hear back.
