Update: North Admiral trailer fire was 1 of 2 ‘set fires’

6:36 AM: A rude, and fiery, awakening for a North Admiral neighborhood this morning. In the 3700 block of SW Grayson (map), firefighters are mopping up after a fire on a trailer parked along the street. WSB’er Meredith shares the photos.

No injuries are reported. Investigators are trying to find out how the fire started.

We’ll add an update later when the cause is determined.

8:57 AM UPDATE: According to SFD spokesperson Kyle Moore, both the trailer fire and a fire in a nearby recycling bin “are being called Incendiary or set fires. A suspect or suspects set fire to a utility trailer and a recycling bin within minutes of each other. The damage estimate is $1550.”

    It was quiet early, that’s what I get for sleeping with the windows open. Glad no one was hurt

    This is scary. I really look forward to what the police and the fire dept. have to say about this. Does this neighborhood need extra patrols? Is the neighborhood going to be briefed? It’s odd that no one saw anything considering there are folks up walking their dogs and some are on their way to work.

      It was pre-dawn – the original call was at 5:34 pm. I don’t expect SFD to have any further comment beyond what I added to the story; we’ll be checking with police a bit later – TR

    Did anyone notice the water pressure in this area has been reduced and how brown the water was early this morning? Did the fire trucks connect to a hydrant? (Just wondering if that could cause sediment to flow into the lines).

    I believe they did connect to a hydrant, though I have no idea what impact that would have on water flow and sediment.

Sorry, comment time is over.
