If you saw smoke – or at least, all the fire engines — on Harbor Island in the past hour, it was a fire on a crane at Terminal 18, 150 feet up. Seattle Fire Department spokesperson Dana Vander Houwen says the crane was being demolished — and welding sparks ignited an accidental fire in a Fiberglas cab beneath where the demolition crew was working. Nobody was in the crane; nobody hurt; once firefighters used a basket and 500 feet of hose to get up to the fire, they made short work of it.
