UPDATE: Fire callout in Admiral

6:07 AM: Thanks to the texter who sent the photo from what was briefly another big Seattle Fire callout, this time in the 2300 block of 44th SW. The log indicates the callout just before 5 am was downsized quickly. We’ll follow up with SFD.

3 PM: SFD tells us, “At 4:58 a.m., crews were dispatched a reported house fire in the 2300 block of 44th Ave SW. They arrived on scene to a porch fire and quickly downgraded the response. They extinguished the fire and found no extension. No injuries reported.” No word on the cause of the “porch fire,” though.

    I am the picture taker. The fire seemed to be focused on the front steps/patio. The firefighters used chain saws to cut it apart. Pretty sure the house is vacant, it will be interesting to see what the cause was.

    My guess is they never caught the arsonist who started the fire in the building adjacent to Aura on 35th Ave SW earlier this year. Wondering if it’s him or a new person.

Sorry, comment time is over.
