Big response, as is standard for a fire call to a multi-unit building – but what happened at California/College this afternoon was over pretty quick, we learned at the scene. Seattle Fire crews told WSB’s Christopher Boffoli that it was a small fire on an apartment balcony, believed to have been caused by a cigarette. The building’s owner, who has a business on the ground floor, tackled it with an extinguisher before fire crews arrived and finished the job. No injuries, no major damage.
