UPDATE: Fire response at West Seattle Stadium/Golf Course

12:35 AM: Thanks to the texter who sent that photo of a fire on the West Seattle Stadium/Golf Course grounds. Looked big enough that it even caught a police officer’s attention from a block or so today, but SFD is on scene now and report it’s a single tree. No word how it started, but scattered fireworks usage is still happening around here and the rest of the city, dispatches indicate.

1:12 AM: The call closed a few minutes ago.

    People lighting trees on fire!  Shameful!

      If by “lighting” you mean deliberately, then more likely some kind of aerial firework that landed or got hung up in the tree.
