A woman in her 70s suffered smoke inhalation and was hospitalized after a house fire Wednesday night in the Lakeridge area south of Seattle.

The fire broke out about 11:30 p.m. in the 7900 block of South 115th Place. The woman's husband was awake, woke his wife and the couple escaped out the back door, said Dave Nelson, spokesman for King County Fire District 20.

Faulty exterior wiring at the back of the home was the cause of the fire, which destroyed about 40 percent of the home, causing $200,000 damage, Nelson said.

The woman had chest pains and shortness of breath associated with smoke inhalation and was taken to Valley Medical Center in Renton. Her injuries did not appear to be serious, Nelson said.
