8:36 PM: Seattle Fire is on the scene of what’s described as a fire in a townhouse in the 3200 block of SW Graham [vicinity map]. Updates to come.
8:39 PM: SFD says it’s a dryer fire that hasn’t spread. They’re going to start dismissing units.
8:44 PM: No injuries reported, and the big task now is ventilating the townhome to clear out the smoke.
It’s a big call-out. Saw Heavy Rescue, two hook and ladder trucks, one regular truck, and several SUVs en route.
Yup, standard for a Fire in Building response – much safer to have all the reinforcements on the way if you get there and find out it’s a big deal, than to arrive and find out you’re under-resourced.
Seattles “full response” is 21 units; these include: 5 engines, 2 battalion chiefs, 2 aid cars, 3 ICS/oversight, R1, 3 ladders, REHAB1, MAR5, 1 medic unit, medical chief, and an air tank company/Air 10.
Sorry, comment time is over.
