A woman was injured after she and a friend jumped from the second story window of a Pullman apartment complex that caught fire early Tuesday morning.
According to the Pullman Fire Department, crews were called to the Clarke Terrace complex on Terre View Drive just before 7 a.m. Firefighters found the 8-unit structure fully involved, but managed to keep the blaze contained to four of the units. The fire was under control about an hour later. The fire is believed to have been caused by a discarded cigarette. The damage is estimated at $450,000.
The woman in her mid-20s jumped about 10-12 feet to the ground, and was taken to the hospital with a fractured pelvis. A male friend of hers also jumped, but did not get hurt.
