West Seattle, Washington
10 Saturday
Thanks to the texter who sent that dashcam video along with an alert about the lane closure it shows, at “the curve” that’s been the location of more than a few crashes, toward the southwest end of the westbound West Seattle Bridge. We’re not finding an official traffic alert about it, but given the presence of at least one Seattle City Light truck, it could be work related to the crash the other night that brought down a pole at the pullout (we’ll check with SCL in the morning). In the meantime, if you’ll be headed that way, or know someone who will, caution is advised.
8:43 AM: Thanks for the tips. Seattle City Light says 230 customers have lost their power in the Lowman Beach area. One texter says they “heard a giant boom of a transformer going out” just before the power went away.
8:53 AM: SFD responded to a “smoldering” utility pole by Lowman Beach about 15 minutes before the power loss, according to archived radio, and firefighters were there when the subsequent explosion took out wires, leading to the outage. fro
9:40 AM: A texter in the area says the pole – which is along the sidewalk bordering the park’s street side – is still smoldering; smoke can be seen in their video, which also shows that crews are at the scene.
9:55 AM: They report the crews told them the pole will have to be replaced and that’ll take “a while.”

1 PM: Not restored yet.
1:59 PM: Thanks to the commenters who reported they’re back on as of just before 1:30 pm.
P.S. Some were wondering how the outage affected the Murray Wet Weather Facility across the street from the park (it’s a stormwater-overflow storage facility, not a treatment facility). It lost power but was never without power, per spokesperson Akiko Oda, because its generator kicked in automatically.
5:48 PM: More than 4,900 homes and businesses are out of power right now, mostly in northwest West Seattle. Not sure yet about what’s to blame – multiple trees have just been reported down, including one at California/Alaska in The Junction blocking part of northbound California.
(Thanks to Amy for the photo – she says “It hit a row of Lime bikes but nothing else”)
(Added: WSB photo by Oliver Hamlin, showing the aforementioned Lime bikes)
Updates to come.
5:54 PM: Police radio indicates the outage is likely related to a tree down in the Admiral area. (Exactly where, we don’t know – nothing telltale on the SFD or SPD logs.) You’ve probably noticed the wind kicking up big time this evening – the National Weather Service did not have our area under an alert for that, though.
6:20 PM: The wind has calmed somewhat, at least up here.
6:42 PM: A commenter points out that the NWS has belatedly posted a Wind Advisory alert, timestamped 6:10 pm, in effect until midnight.
7:41 PM: Several notes/comments suggest this originated somewhere in this area uphill from south Alki.
7:57 PM: Our archives say this is the 15th West Seattle outage this year affecting 100 or more customers. Half were blamed on falling trees. We also had a few caused by drivers hitting poles, an unfortunate bird, an unexplained pole fire, and the most recent one before this, 3,000 customers on November 23, was blamed on “a broken cross-arm.”
8:43 PM: Still out. Remember, don’t open your refrigerator/freezer – the air temp will stay low for hours. How many hours? Here’s the federal advice.
9:51 PM: No updates; fifth hour now. The customers out in West Seattle are now more than two-thirds of those out SCL-wide.
10:03 PM: Yma points out in comments that the Wind Advisory has been extended to 3 am. It’s also now suggesting top gusts could reach 55 mph, 10 mph above the previous forecast.
10:50 PM: Saw a flicker, hoped it meant some were getting restored, and indeed, the SCL map says the power’s back on for most. Fewer than 100 are still shown as out.
ADDED MONDAY: City Light tells us they think tree limbs took out the power but were unable to zero in on exactly where.

“This is urgent.” That’s how Seattle City Light leaders summarized what they say the utility needs to deal with challenges both new and longrunning.
The briefing for the Sustainability, City Light, Arts and Culture Committee this morning (starting 45 minutes into the video above) was meant to answer questions such as “why so many power outages” – they acknowledged outages are more numerous, and longer, than their target numbers. But they only discussed the 40 percent of outages they say are caused by infrastructure problems such as equipment failure. “We need to focus on not being the cause of our own outages,” declared City Light CEO Dawn Lindell.
To get to that point, City Light reps said, it will cost almost three and a half billion dollars. They say SCL is still suffering from “historically underfunded and deferred maintenance,” staff cuts, and other problems dating back to money woes from the 2001 Enron scandal.
One of the biggest points of failure: Direct-buried underground cables. That’s the kind currently being replaced in Brace Point; SCl says it has 330 miles of it but they’ve been replacing it so slowly, some of it could be more than a century old before they ever get to it.
Above ground, problems include various components that tend to fail, including lots of small parts with a big impact on reliability. Replacement of such parts has to accelerate to three times the current rate, said Andrew Strong, the City Light executive who did most of the talking. He added that, as seen in other states, transmission-line trouble can spark fires, which are not only devastating to victims, but costly to those culpable – he mentioned one utility’s multi-billion-dollar settlement.
Then there’s the issue of capacity. The demand on the system keeps increasing – the Port of Seattle, alone, for example, needs a new substation because of electrification – ships, trucks, etc.
So City Light is facing building a new substation on Harbor Island that will cost around a half-billion dollars. And they might need a new substation for the south part of their service area (which stretches into Burien). The other potential factors that could increase future demand on the system were listed as including Sound Transit light rail, bus electrification, University of Washington expansion, and new data centers (they have seen proposals for at least five).
In addition to the natural increase of cost with time, City Light – like so many other organizations and companies – is dealing with the uncertainties of tariffs. And a shortage in personnel – Strong said they don’t have enough engineers, field crews, etc., to meet increasing demand. They need technology upgrades too, added Lindell: “Electricity moves at the speed of light,” so they need technology that does, too. (She said that would be the subject of a future presentation.)
So where will the $3.4 billion come from? Some, from rates, the City Light executives readily acknowledged. And that includes a careful analysis of the big customers, they said, ensuring “the right rate burden” falls on “the right customer.”
Back to the topic of outages, there was one brief mention of remedying the tree-vs-line conflicts that have been to blame for so many in areas like ours. Though the old-style direct-buried underground cables are a source of trouble now, modern undergrounding can solve some problems, and is being explored for some areas, they said. (We’ll be following up on that.)
Today’s discussion was just a briefing, nothing to be voted on, so after questions (Councilmember Dan Strauss was very interested in the technical points), it ended, Here’s the full slide deck from which we pulled a few individual graphics shown above.
11:10 AM: Thanks for the tip. SFD has three units at the scene of a natural-gas leak in the 4000 block of 42nd SW [vicinity map] and are calling for police to block 42nd between Andover and Dakota. The leaking line was described over emergency radio as “nickel-sized.” They’re evacuating neighboring homes as a precaution.
11:27 AM: Puget Sound Energy has stopped the leak, so SFD and SPD are clearing, and 42nd will reopen.
ORIGINAL SATURDAY REPORT: Thanks to the reader who texted the photo and report of crews replacing this utility pole in the 6600 block of Fauntleroy Way SW [vicinity map]. It was reported hit by a driver at 2:30 am; we heard the dispatch but the pole was not initially reported compromised, the street was not reported blocked, and the driver was reported unhurt. Reviewing subsequent radio exchanges, police were investigating the driver for possible DUI.
ADDED MONDAY: We confirmed with police that the 27-year-old man driving the car that hit the pole, a 2025 Audi, was arrested on suspicion of DUI. According to the police-report narrative, he was alone in the car and unable to tell them where he had been coming from and where he was living or staying; he had a Washington, D.C. driver license and gave what appears to be a South Park addressed when also asked where he was going, though he was driving in the opposite direction. The officer writing the report also noted he “had no shirt on.”
10:48 AM: Two readers have reported water trouble on 16th SW, though nothing is listed on the Seattle Public Utilities map as either a current or restored outage. One says their water’s out; another reports crews working near Myrtle. We’ll be heading over for a look.
(Added: WSB photo)
12:06 PM: No crew on 16th now, but fresh-looking patches and water on the street are in view just north of Myrtle.
11:53 AM: Almost 3,000 customers just lost power. From Arbor Heights to Sunrise Heights. Updates to come.
12:12 PM: Added screengrab of SCL outage map and looking further into the outage’s cause. We were away from the desk when this started but archived radio shows SFD was called to investigate “sparking and arcing wires” on 30th SW about the time this happened.
12:22 PM: Looks like the corresponding SFD call is near the dead end in the 10200 block of 31st SW (the original dispatch mentioned a “30th SW dead end” and the general area of the response has one of those too). … Commenters say some local businesses are affected, including part of Westwood Village and Roxbury Safeway.
1 PM: Thanks to those who’ve just sent photos confirming City Light is on the scene in the aforementioned area. … Here’s the first pic from one texter:
From another texter:
They said that’s “near the entrance to Seola Pnd, behind Grace Church, dead end on 30th SW” and that they were told “they have to redo most of it and it could be a while because they’ve got to call in a lineman and they might not be here for another couple of hours.”
1:11 PM: Texters are reporting at least some just got power back. The map has not updated yet so we’re waiting to see if everyone was restored or just some of the affected areas.
1:19 PM: The map has updated now. More than 2,000 restored but 581 still out.
1:30 PM: Above is a screengrab of the revised outage zone, the 581 homes/businesses still out. (If you wonder why some got power back but not all, in some cases they are able to reroute power access – don’t know for sure if that’s what happened here, but it’s been an explanation in past outages. Note that the area still out is closer to the area where the problem happened.)
3:49 PM: The 581 homes/businesses are still out. The SCL map now attributes the outage to “equipment failure”; details on what exactly “failed” likely won’t be available until tomorrow, but we’ll be following up.
6:14 PM: Another wave of commenters reports the power just came back. We’re watching the map to see if that’s full resolution or not.
6:29 PM: Map has now updated, and it shows this outage now fully over.
ADDED MONDAY MORNING: SCL says the cause was “a broken cross arm on a pole.”
1:47 PM: Thanks for the tip! Power is out for 50+ customers in north Gatewood, centered around 39th/Holly.
5:11 PM: The outage has ended since last we checked. SCL hasn’t yet answered our question about what caused it.
ADDED MONDAY MORNING: City Light spokesperson Jenn Strang says a squirrel took out the power.
It’s trash/recycling day in Gatewood, and a truck is reported to have brought down a wire/cable across SW Elmgrove west of 35th SW [map]. Police are there until City Light can come tend to it, though officers believe it’s a cable, not a live wire, and there’s no accompanying outage.
8:28 PM: It’s just appeared on the Seattle Public Utilities water-trouble map, shortly after a texter sent us news of a water break in Arbor Heights:
Water-main break in Arbor Heights on 107th between 35th and 39th. SPU just arrived and is closing the street.
SPU says this is affecting about three dozen homes.
11:36 PM: According to SPU, the break was fixed in less than an hour.
Two days until November, and two days until Seattle Public Utilities yard-waste customers can start setting out up to 10 extra bags every collection date this month. SPU sent the annual announcement today:
Seattle Public Utilities offers free extra yard-waste pickup for all household food and yard waste customers each week throughout November.
When customers keep leaves off streets and out of storm drains, it reduces ponding and flooding during fall storms. To support this, customers can put out up to 10 extra bags of leaves for free each collection day in November.Customers should place extra leaves in:
-Paper or certified compostable lawn and leaf bags, or
-Personal reusable containers with lids.Winter weather is here, and SPU encourages customers to take these additional steps to keep streets and drains clear, report problems, and stay informed:
-Report clogged drains through the Find It, Fix It app.
-For urgent drainage, wastewater, and drinking water issues, call SPU’s 24/7 Operations Response Center at 206-386-1800.
-Sign up for AlertSeattle, the city’s official emergency alert system.
Note that Find It, Fix It, is for NON-urgent issues, so if something is presenting an immediate life-safety hazard, call SPU’s 24/7 as listed, or even 911 if you can’t get through to a live person.
Justin and neighbors are reporting brown water in south Arbor Heights, 35th SW and SW 107th vicinity. The Seattle Public Utilities water-trouble map doesn’t show any current problems or planned work in the area; fire calls or hydrant testing are other possible causes, but the most important thing to do is to report to SPU at 206-386-1800, since sometimes it can be the first sign of nearby trouble.
7:35 PM: Thanks to Sarah for first word of the first significant outage in West Seattle since the Wind Advisory kicked in this afternoon: A tree is down on a line at 45th SW and SW Hemlock [map], a couple blocks east of Lincoln Park, and 117 homes are out of power.
Police are blocking off streets in the area, which is along a set of “switchbacks” used as a cut-through from California SW to Fauntleroy Way SW.
7:48 PM: Not West Seattle, but we just got a tip and a question about this: Just south of White Center, the Ambaum Boulevard curves are blocked by a fallen tree, so if you have to head south, find an alternate route (like 1st Avenue S.).
8:54 PM: Sarah sent the pic of a City Light truck in the vicinity. This remains the only outage of note in West Seattle, and throughout its service area, City Light only has a bit more than 1,000 customers are out, although the wind is starting to sound more fierce outside.
9:07 PM: And in fact, police were just dispatched for a reported tree into a house in the 8300 block of 46th SW.
9:28 PM: Just got another texted report, a tree down at 26th SW and SW Juneau in North Delridge. (Police report no injuries or damage, just blocking Juneau at 25th.) No other outages mapped yet, though a texter at 28th SW and SW Thistle reports losing power, and the wind continues to roar where we are (on a hill over Lincoln Park, southwest exposure).
9:40 PM: Added reader photo of 25/26/Juneau tree above. Not far from there, SFD is now responding to someone stuck in their car after a possibly live wire came down on it. … In Admiral, another “wire down” call at Fairmount and Belvidere, “sparking quite a lot” per dispatcher. … Tree down on High Point Drive per dispatch; brief outage near 35th/Avalon per texter … And another dispatch for a tree down in a front yard somewhere on 42nd SW … SFD says the person stuck in their car is out safely but a tree/wire is pulling down a pole so they’ll be blocking off 26th SW and SW Findlay vicinity.
9:57 PM: Even more trees/limbs down – dispatch just ticked off several, including 30th SW and SW Kenyon, California SW and SW Alaska, 4800 block SW Spokane, California Avenue and California Way … Texter says a tree’s down on SW Orchard near Home Depot, “cops on scene clearing,” and that the nearby signal on Delridge is out. … North end of Fairmount now has a 22-home outage … Texter says 26th SW and SW Roxbury signal is flashing red all ways … 4000 block of 18th SW, tree down, per dispatch … Tree into wires in 4700 block of 47th SW …
10:14 PM: SCL map now shows 145 out in Westwood/Sunrise Heights (above) and 9 out on Beach Drive.
10:30 PM: Tree down in 6700 block of 21st SW is reported to have hit at least two cars, per SPD.
10:46 PM: More trees down, per dispatcher – Admiral Way and SW Spokane; 2700 block Alki Avenue.
11:17 PM: The wind has calmed considerably, at least here in Upper Fauntleroy, and no new “tree down” reports in the past half-hour plus.
The Beach Drive power outage, meantime, now maps at 80 homes (screengrab added above). City Light is up to 34,000+ customers out around its service area, so repairs might take a while.
11:35 PM: Dispatcher reports trees down at California SW and SW Raymond north of Morgan Junction, and California Way and Harbor SW.
12:17 AM: According to police on the scene, the California/Raymond tree is blocking the southbound side of California. (Photo added above, sent by Adam.)
12:36 AM: Wire hanging low over Admiral Way on approach to eastbound West Seattle Bridge – that’s how dispatch described it, and while typing this, we got a text from Dan, who called it in and says it’s a tree branch hung up on the wire about a quarter of the way down the hill; another wire reported down outside a home at Marine View Drive and SW 102nd.
1:36 AM: Lots of cleanup ahead once this calms down. Here’s a texted photo from 48th SW and SW Holly:
2:32 AM: Another tree-down dispatch, this time for 20th/Holden. Meantime, checking SCL’s map, none of the local outages appear to have been resolved yet.
9:38 AM SUNDAY: According to the SCL map, the 117-customer outage near Lincoln Park is resolved but the 145-customer outage in Westwood/Sunrise Heights is not, nor is the 22-customer outage near the north end of Fairmount.
You might have driven/rode/walked past that green structure at 38th SW/SW Barton many times – along the busy route between Westwood Village and the Fauntleroy Y, Schoolhouse, Church, and ferry dock – without knowing what it was. It’s the 98-year-old Barton Standpipe, and Seattle Public Utilities work over the weekend piqued neighbors’ curiosity. Brad Wong from SPU answered our question about what was going on:
Over the weekend of October 4 and 5, crews from Seattle Public Utilities installed a pressure relief valve at the Barton Standpipe property. This new valve will open and discharge water if this zone experiences high pressure. This will protect SPU water mains and private property plumbing. A new drain was installed to capture any discharged water. It is tied into the existing standpipe drain line. The grounds will be repaired after all other work is complete. This work started several weeks ago. SPU, which does not foresee additional heavy construction, expects the work to be completed by November. Crews from SPU’s Utility Operations & Maintenance, Water Distribution, and Drainage and Wastewater teams were involved with the weekend work.
Back at the time of the Big West Seattle Flush nine years ago to address chronic water discoloration, SPU told us the Barton Standpipe had been decommissioned, so we’re following up for clarity on whether it does or does not hold water.

Fauntleroy neighbors gathered on Thursday night at The Hall at Fauntleroy to hear from Seattle Public Utilities representatives and to ask questions about several culvert projects impacting the area currently and in the near future.
The community meeting was focused on two of the culvert projects happening in the area:
These projects will directly impact the area and its neighbors, but also commuters and neighbors further away because the area is a key connector between Delridge, 35th Ave SW, and the Fauntleroy business district and ferry dock.
Neighbors and project coordinators agree that it’s crucial to get the word out and to keep the community involved, and Thursday night’s meeting was part of that ongoing effort. Project reps will also be onsite to answer questions at the upcoming Fauntleroy Fall Festival, happening Sunday, October 19 from 2-5 pm, as noted on signage posted in the area:
Presenters on Thursday night included Robert Lee (SPU project manager for the emergency repairs happening this month), Jonathan Brown (SPU project manager for the 45th Ave SW culvert replacement), and Tracy Belding (design consultant for the 45th Ave project). Also in attendance were reps from the Seattle Police Department — crime prevention coordinator Matthew Brown and officer German Barreto — to answer questions and represent public-safety aspects of the projects.
As project coordinators point out, there are actually three culverts on Fauntleroy Creek: a lower culvert at Fauntleroy Way SW (just east of the ferry terminal), a middle culvert at 45th Ave SW, and an upper culvert at California Ave SW. The projects in question are for the middle (45th) and upper (California) culverts, not for the lower culvert because it (and the associated fish ladder) were built in the late 1990s and not due for replacement.
Meeting toplines from Thursday night are below:
After a brief delay to resolve technical difficulties with the projector, first up was Robert Lee to talk about the California Avenue emergency culvert repair, which is happening this month. Lee said the project was fast-tracked as an emergency (which needed to be done prior to the larger replacement that will likely begin in 2028) because the pipe is “in really bad shape.” The team does not believe it will last two years without intervention, hence an emergency approach with expedited design, permitting, and coordination.
The project involves temporary stabilization of the severely deteriorated culvert by installing a plastic liner inside the existing pipe to add strength and extend service life until a full replacement project occurs. Lee said the crews will be working quickly because the liner has a short installation window (about five days from when it is “wetted out” with resin). It must be delivered from Idaho and installed quickly because if the lining cannot be completed, a more invasive repair approach (including damming sections) would be required.
Current status and near-term work includes:
In response to attendee questions about parking, traffic and other topics:
Next up was Jonathan Brown and Tracy Belding to talk about the 45th Avenue culvert replacement.
The existing 24-inch culvert under 45th is in very poor condition, a complete barrier to fish passage, and difficult to maintain. Not an emergency yet, but urgent.
Goals of the project are to replace (not repair) the culvert, upsize the culvert to meet state and federal fish-passage requirements, improve maintenance access and enhance habitat and water quality. Details on those items:
Up on the surface, the project will also involve street-level restoration as the project is completed: The roadway, sidewalk, and parking areas will look similar to today after construction is complete. On the east side, there will be a fence and locked gate, similar to current conditions (for maintenance access only). On the west side will be the “45th Landing,” the small public amenities area within the right-of-way. The fence will include perforations to allow peekaboo views of the creek while also screening adjacent residences. Access to the ravine will remain controlled for maintenance only.
On the subject of parking, roads, traffic and bus lines: Lots of Q&A and back-and-forth discussion with attendees, on these topics. Some highlights:
For vegetation/landscape removal and restoration, and well as slopes/grading:
Regarding the project schedule, construction approach, and concerns about noise:
As it relates to site security and concerns about unauthorized encampments and trespassing (the SPD reps in attendance chimed in, on these topics):
As the main portion of the meeting drew to a close, the project team invited attendees to stay and ask more questions and share feedback with team members, and many attendees obliged:
Comment cards were handed out, for attendees to share feedback and thoughts. Jonathan Brown (SPU) encouraged neighbors to stay connected with the official SPU project website, sign up for the email list, or contact him directly (Jonathan.Brown@seattle.gov or 206-561-2581.
9:25 AM: A midsize Seattle Fire response is arriving in the 6500 block of Delridge Way SW, where a gas leak is reported. SPD has been summoned to help block traffic in the area.
9:30 AM: SFD says it’s a 2″ gas line, “venting straight up,” on the north side of the stairs at Holly. They’re evacuating nearby homes until they get it stabilized.
10:17 AM: The gas leak has been secured and SFD is demobilizing.
10:33 AM: Delridge has fully reopened.
(WSB photo, this morning)
While the park expansion less than two blocks away languishes, another city project in Morgan Junction appears to be approaching construction. Checking on the Morgan Junction electric-vehicle-charging lot site between Fauntleroy and Morgan, north of 42nd SW, we discovered the winning bidder’s contract was finalized just this past Monday. Zenisco Inc. beat out eight other bidders, according to this page on the city’s bidding website, which says the contract amount is $823,250. Zenisco’s project gallery is heavy on telecom work. This is a Seattle City Light project, as we’ve been reporting since 2022, and we have a message out to SCL to ask how soon they expect construction to begin. Back in April, SCL had projected it would start this month and be ready in spring, just a few months after an estimate that it would be finished this fall.
Though Seattle Public Utilities had said the emergency culvert repairs beneath California SW in Fauntleroy could start tomorrow, the “no parking” signs in the area all are dated to start Tuesday (September 23). Whenever the crews arrive, remember that the repair work will change things up for about a month in the Fauntleroy Church/Y/Schoolhouse area, which is also a key connector between Delridge, 35th SW, and the Fauntleroy business district and ferry dock. The repairs – as announced in August – are intended to keep the culvert that carries Fauntleroy Creek under California from failing before permanent replacement work can begin. (For more on the replacement project, which will first focus on 45th SW, don’t miss the recently announced community meeting on October 2.)
Thanks to Aaron for the tip: The traffic signal at 42nd/Alaska in The Junction is dark. That makes it an all-way stop. Checking the Seattle City Light map, we see there’s a two-customer power outage right at that spot, blamed on “equipment failure,” so it is on SCL’s radar.
8:39 AM: Thanks for the tips. 68 homes in North Admiral/Upper Alki have been out of power since just before 5 this morning. The Seattle City Light outage map blames it on a tree. Dave says that tree’s at Sunset/Atlantic, and sent this photo:
1:03 PM: The map shows that, since our last check a couple hours ago, the outage is down to 18 customers.
We’ve been hearing from West Seattleites who say their Quantum/CenturyLink internet service has been having intermittent trouble for the past week or so – particularly a “degradation of service” in the evenings. One of them, Dan, has been gathering reports via social media, summarized as follows:
The Problem:
Severe slowdowns occurring daily from approximately 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM
Latency spikes 10-30 times normal levels
Packet loss between 3-10%
Download speeds dropping below 1 Mbps
Web pages loading extremely slowly
Video streaming quality significantly reduced or failing entirely
Chloe, the first to send us that summary, added: “Despite multiple reports, residents are struggling to get meaningful responses from CenturyLink regarding resolution timelines.” Here’s how they’ve been advising others who are affected to escalate:
-Document the issue by running network diagnostics during outage periods
-Email CenturyLink executive escalation at: exec-escalation@lumen.com
-Use subject line: “West Seattle Evening Service Degradation – [Your ZIP Code]”
-Include specific details: times affected, technical data if available, impact on daily activities
After hearing about this from multiple readers over the weekend, today we asked parent company Lumen about the problem. Our query was answered by global issues director Mark Molzen:
We know how critical reliable internet service is to our customers and understand that service issues can disrupt daily routines like streaming, browsing, and staying connected.
We’re actively reaching out to customers to better understand the scope of the issue and work with them directly.
We’re committed to resolving this issue as quickly as possible and restoring the reliable service our customers expect. We appreciate their patience and engagement as we work through this.
So if you’re caught up in this, let us know if you get some relief.
If you saw the four-crew SFD response that headed down Jacobsen Road – a major route to and from Beach Drive – here’s what it was about: A natural-gas line break, blamed on “residential construction” workers. 45 minutes after the dispatch, the response has just wrapped up and the remaining three SFD crews are leaving.
