UPDATE: Highway 99 tunnel reopens after fire closure

7:56 PM: Thanks for the tip. The Highway 99 tunnel is closed both ways because of a fire. SFD has it logged as a vehicle fire.

9:32 PM: Fire’s out but tunnel’s not open yet.

10:36 PM: Still closed. We have followup questions out but did glean one bit of info from archived audio: The fire was on the tunnel’s northbound deck.

11:55 PM: Open again.

ADDED FRIDAY MORNING: SFD confirms to WSB that no one was injured.

    Yikes! That must have been scary for everyone in the tunnel with the fire. Glad no one was hurt.
