There was a fire this morning

I accidentally sent a duplicate picture from last night the first time I tried to post about this. It got bigger and bigger so I grabbed a few pictures. Click this one to get to the set.



I suspect arson. The building has been in a weird state of remodeling/kicking tenants out/trying to find short term tenants/trying to convert to condos/maybe being torn down for well over a year.

I heard about that fire on the news this morning. Hopefully everything turned out fine...

Wow, those firefighters look like they're inside the fire! People should really be more careful.

The news reported that there was only one tenant left, and he was supposed to have been moved out today. An elderly man (80s) and IIRC the one who died in the fire.

I heard the location this morning and hoped you'd be updating us

Be careful, you.

I got into work with my coworker freaking out about this because apparently he lives next door (or two away?) from the building. Crazy.

Yeah I could see the flames reflected in one of the buildings right by it and felt really bad for the people in those units.

Where was this? I heard about the fire but I'm in Eastlake so didn't see it.

Northwest corner of Pine and Bellevue.

The fire apparently reportedly started in a ground floor unit and within seconds had spread all across one corridor of the building. It has to be arson, because the level of flammability it takes for that to happen in a vacuum doesn't just randomly occur.
