West Seattle traffic alert: Avalon Way/Genesee car fire

2:09 PM: A car fire has SFD and SPD at Avalon/Genesee right now, and we’ve heard that buses are being diverted. (added) Just passed 35th/Avalon – north/eastbound traffic is blocked there.

2:18 PM: Westbound traffic is blocked just past Genesee. 1964 VW Bug had an engine fire. No injuries. Road shouldn’t be closed too much longer.

    The carburetors on the old Volkswagen bugs were made of magnesium so when they have an engine fire they are incredibly hard to put out!
