FOX 13 News spoke to the man who says he knows the four people killed following a house fire in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood.
Saturday morning, fire officials and police responded to a house on the corner of N 48th St and Whitman Ave N.
Investigators say they found four people dead inside, including two adults, a child and a baby. Fire officials said they also found a dog dead inside the home.
"It’s been kind of difficult for me because I’ve been close to them," said John Zitkovich.
John Zitkovich says he returned home Saturday to fire trucks outside his home. He soon learned about the tragedy that happened feet away from where he has lived for 25 years.
Zitkovich says five people lived in the home—a mother, a father and their three children, all under the age of 11.
