Followup: Alki duplex fire cause to be classified “undetermined”

(7/24/08 photo by David Hutchinson)
Since the Alki duplex fire a week ago yesterday, we’ve continued to check with the Seattle Fire Department regarding their determination of what caused it. Just heard back from SFD spokesperson Dana Vander Houwen, who says investigators just couldn’t find enough evidence – so it will be permanently classified as “undetermined.”

I work with one of the residents and word around the office is that the upstairs tenant left a bbq on…not sure if that’s true or not.

The barbecue rumor had been going around since the night it happened. That would have been fairly easy for the investigators to figure out, one would imagine.

Sorry, comment time is over.
