11:55 AM: Seattle Fire is responding to a “fire in building” call in the 9400 block of 16th SW. First crews are seeing “light smoke.”
12:02 PM: Most units are being dismissed.
12:09 PM: Our crew talked with SFD at the scene. The fire started in some bags of items in an apartment area inside the mixed-use Rozella Building. They’re not sure yet what sparked the fire, but it’s out; no one was hurt.
Glad to hear that most units are being dismissed.

If this is the business that the address on SFD 911 Log indicated, it set in a bit of panic, as the business is beloved by myself and many others.

I’m down in the 9000 block, so went up to street level, and didn’t see any smoke, so was very relieved. Especially after the realization that once I saw how close the callout was, it seemed the air was extra smoky.

Okay, now I see it was across the street from what SFD Log showed. :-)

I used to live in that building…glad to hear it was extinguished quickly. It was always one of my fears while living there – it’s such an old building and there’s no fire suppression system if I recall.
Sorry, comment time is over.
