    Wondering if you’ll be covering the explosion under the West Seattle Bridge from last night?

      There was a one-engine callout. The “explosion” was likely a propane tank, according to scanner traffic at the time. We are checking with SFD, assuming their media liaisons are on today.

Sorry, comment time is over.
