We’re checking on injuries.

6:19 PM: SFD spokesperson David Cuerpo says no one was hurt. Their investigator was not sent, so it apparently was not suspicious in orgin.

    Looks like an early 70’s Porsche 911 Targa.

    Is this the Porsche that was stolen from Alki the other night?

      That was described as a Porsche Cayman

    Porsches are prone to engine fires – I had one –  I carried a fire extinguisher at all times, only needed it once  but that saved the day and the car.
