Update: House fire in Fauntleroy, near the ferry dock

4:35 PM: Crews are en route to a house-fire call in the 4500 block of SW Trenton, which is about a block east of Fauntleroy Way. More shortly.

4:44 PM UPDATE: Lots of smoke from the back of the house when we arrived, not much now. No flames visible.

4:55 PM UPDATE: The incident commander tells WSB the fire started in a back bedroom. They’re not sure yet how it started; they’re still checking to make sure it didn’t extend into the walls, attic, etc. No report of injuries at this point; two people who were home at the time are reported to have gotten out safely. Added above this update, a photo from neighbor Emily, with a wider perspective than ours.

There was a loud “boom” a little while ago, and I figured it must be something like this that happened. I heard the sirens shortly after. I knew WS Blog would be on top of this.

14 emergency vehicles on site. Can’t smell or see any smoke and we’re five blocks away. Hope everyone’s okay.

Sad. The folks who live there are wonderful people. Pray their ok.

WSB is awesome. The item and photo was posted and sirens were still coming in. We hope it isn’t too serious.

Planenut – in this case, I happened to be passing Fire Station 32 when all three of its rigs rolled out – so I pulled over (had to pull over to let them pass anyway!) and checked the 911 log, which meant (1) a call to co-publisher to roll and (b) post a quick line on the website. Usually our various alerts, including reader texts (thank you all!), take a couple more minutes. Glad that (so far as we know) nobody’s hurt – TR
