Nineteen Seattle Fire units responded to a 911 call near 34th SW and SW Thistle just after 11am and found a garage and attached storage unit in the alley billowing thick gray smoke. An eyewitness on the scene said the fire appeared to originate in the storage shed. No people were hurt. The owner was contacted and arrived to assess the damage.
SFD firefighters used chain saws and pry bars to open the side of the storage area, and sprayed water and chemical foam. The fire was quickly dealt with but they continued to look for hotspots. No one was hurt.
No exact cause or damage amount was released.
