ORIGINAL 12:55 PM REPORT: Thanks for the calls; we’re on the way to check out the “fire in building” call at the condos in the 10200 block of 47th SW (map). 1:34 PM UPDATE: As you can see from the map link, this is pretty much the southwestern end of West Seattle, so it took a while to get there. Fire personnel at the scene say the fire was contained to one unit at the large condo complex that’s at that address; nobody was home at the time; they don’t know yet what started it and are still determining the extent of the damage.
MONDAY MORNING UPDATE: Dana Vander Houwen from SFD sends word of what investigators found: The cause, she says, was “accidental – caused by an overheated plasma television (it ignited the wooden wall surface it was mounted on). Nobody was home at the time of the fire. The damage estimate was $150,000.”
