Just got Rick‘s pix and they deserve their own post. Same Rick who, as mentioned in the post below, hollered for the firefighters who were training nearby – here you see them trooping over:

More from Rick, who took the pix and reported the fire — he says the truck driver’s OK (Rick even told the DRIVER his truck was on fire!).

    Oh no, its Waste Management, guess our rates will be going up again so that they can pay for a new truck.

    It appears, based on helmet styles, Seattle Fire was able to use this fire as training for their recruit class. Normally this would be a single engine response; fortunately for the class they were training across the street from Rite Aid that day.

Sorry, comment time is over.
