11:27 PM: Seattle Fire has a full response on the way to a possible apartment fire in the 3000 block of 60th SW. [vicinity map] Updates to come.
11:30 PM: Firefighters say it appears to have been a small fire extinguished “by occupant,” and they’re downsizing the response.
This has been discussed here many, many times.
The short version:
Better safe than sorry. The extra minutes it would take for more responders if the first crew on scene says “yep, it’s a fire” could be a life-death difference. And when it’s something like this, most of the responders get code-greened before they ever even arrive anyway (see this log on sfdlive.com as a prime example).
I live on this block! (It wasn’t me…) I’m glad they sent the full squad seeing as it’s all tightly packed condos and apartments. A big fire here would be devastating.I think it’s a valid question to ask, but these guys know what they’re doing.
Lots of sirens, glad it’s nothing major and everyone’s ok. After that woke me a heard what sounded like gunshots in N Admiral. Second time there was another round maybe an hour earlier. Anyone else?
Heard that too and looked out the window and saw fireworks over the beach :/ Woke up again now to a couple more loud bangs and assuming it’s fireworks again but didn’t see any.
Sorry, comment time is over.
