Any more information on this fire? As we drove from Alaska & 36th to the WS bridge we saw numerous Fire Trucks, ambulances, & aid cars heading west, a major response.Was this all for the fire on Thistle?

What we have published above is pretty much the entire story. Yes, they sent a “full response” just in case. Some of the units have to come from specialized units on the south end of downtown, as always. Turned out not to be that big a fire. They don’t know until they get there. – TR
