Overview
- A blaze in the Central District damaged third-floor office suites after crews arrived around 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday and declared the fire under control by about 5:00 a.m.
- Early Wednesday, 911 calls reported a warehouse fire in the Industrial District that involved two tractor‑trailers and grew to a third alarm after the roof partially collapsed.
- Firefighters confirmed no one was inside either building and that there were no injuries after crews extinguished the warehouse around 3:22 a.m. and the Central District fire earlier the prior morning.
- Responders took a defensive posture at the warehouse because large plastic and metal barrels were found and their contents were initially unknown, and officials sent an Alert Seattle notice advising residents near the site to close windows and doors.
- Investigations into the causes are ongoing, crews continue to monitor hot spots, and engineers must clear the Central District first floor for safe access before full damage and loss assessments can proceed.
