As of 8 am there’s still no word from the Seattle Fire Department about the cause of the fire early this morning in the 10000 block of the alley between 40th and 41st SW. Though the fire was centered in one garage, there is damage to another, and an adjacent house appears to have some heat damage as well. As soon as there’s an update we’ll have it for you. Here’s some pictures of the damage taken at 7:45 this morning.

    All the sirens sure woke us and our pup up – he howled for a good 10 minutes with the continuous stream of emergency vehicles heading to the fire scene – joined right in to the joyful choir – hope everyone is ok and they eventually determine the cause.

    Once they make a ruling as “undetermined” do they bother reviewing any additional evidence?
    Has to be frustrating for the homeowners asking “Why?!”

Sorry, comment time is over.
