Update: Seattle Fire response at The Kenney; everyone’s OK

9:34 PM: A full “fire in building” response is headed to The Kenney (WSB sponsor) at 7125 Fauntleroy Way SW right now. The initial report is that a chair is on fire in a room there.

9:40 PM: Firefighters have since amended that to “food on the stove.” No injuries reported. Not even enough smoke to require extra ventilation, according to scanner discussion. But we’re headed over to doublecheck.

9:54 PM: Our crew’s just back from checking at the scene to verify that everyone’s OK – they are, and the remaining fire crews have packed up and left.

First reported as fire in chair but then reported “food on stove.” Co-publisher Patrick is headed down the hill to doublecheck.

with fire in chair, you have visions of a whole room becoming involved. Food on the stove can be scary, though. Happened to me this summer, and luckily I had baking soda nearby….flames were about a foot high on my stove :( Nature’s way of telling me to clean it, I think…
