    Engines still coming down the hill. Address looks like the building that Cactus is in.

      The logged address is that small residential building just east of the building that holds Cactus, Locust, and Outer Space Seattle. However, I always have to mention my standard caveat, the log does NOT always reflect the actual address, sometimes it’s the 911 caller’s best guess, for example. So we don’t use exact addresses until and unless we’ve seen them firsthand.

    If the fire’s out, why are more sirens coming down Admiral? Is there something else?

    • WSB September 9, 2020 (9:13 pm)

      Takes a while for everybody dispatched to get there, and there’s a lag. There was also an unrelated medical response in the south Admiral area at the same time, according to the SFD log.

    Glad it’s out but they took away someone in an Ambulance. Hope he’s ok

      The ambulance was unrelated to the kitchen fire. There was a medical emergency taking place near Sunfish that we came upon just before first responders arrived so my husband and I walked around the block to get to the Cider place.  After the medical emergency had resolved, the ambulance had left and the fire truck had left, all of a sudden there was a burning plastic smell that permeated the air and two officers that had responded to the medical emergency grabbed fire extinguishers from their vehicle and ran towards the residence next door to the Cider/Cactus building. Within a few minutes fellow patrons sitting outside near us at the Cider place were saying the fire was out just as the full response was arriving and fire fighters were coming onto the scene. Hubby and I decided this was a little too much action for our date night and left.We do not know the cause or condition of the person in the medical emergency. Kudos to the good samaritans who were tending to them and their distraught parter before medics arrived. Hoping all is ok.
