2:58 AM: Seattle Fire is arriving at a house in Highland Park (added: 8800 block 9th SW) where a 911 caller reported seeing flames from the basement. Possibly a vacant building, as the incident command has called for “derelict building” protocol.
3:02 AM: The incident commander says it’s a “small fire.” It’s confirmed to be a vacant building.
3:07 AM: The response is being downsized. The fire has just been declared “tapped” (out) and firefighters told dispatch it was actually an exterior fire.
3:11 AM: One more note – our archives indicate it’s the third fire in two months in one block.
