5:17 PM: A big Seattle Fire response is arriving at a possible house fire in Gatewood, in the 6700 block of 36th SW [map].

5:20 PM: Early arrivals have made the preliminary assessment – as monitored via scanner – that it’s a “small smoldering fire in the attic.”

5:22 PM: All but three SFD units are being dismissed. Those remaining on scene report “water on the fire.”

5:28 PM: Our crew has arrived and confirms that firefighters have extinguished the small fire in the attic, believed to be electrical in origin. No injuries reported.

    We just headed out of West Seattle on the bridge, 6-7 emergency fire response vehicles headed the other way, sirens wailing

      Thank you. They always have to send the full response in case it’s a full-fledged fire … most now being turned back.

Sorry, comment time is over.
