UPDATE: SFD ‘full response’ in Arbor Heights for what turned out to be already-extinguished kitchen fire

11:44 PM: Seattle Fire is sending a “full response” to a reported house fire in the 10000 block of 40th SW. “Smoke and fire coming from the kitchen” per multiple 911 calls, the dispatcher told firefighters. Updates to come.

11:48 PM: First units to arrive aren’t seeing anything yet.

11:50 PM: They’ve discovered it was a “food on the stove” kitchen fire, already out, so most responders are being dismissed.

12:09 AM: The last units on scene are leaving.

    I was wondering as I’ve been hearing sirens for 5-10 minutes by Lincoln Park

    Woke up to multiple sirens going by. Hope everyone is ok!

      Yes, it was unusual that they had sirens at that time of day.   I too was praying for all and glad to hear it was not more intense.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
