On December 13, 2019, I filmed a large number of Seattle Fire units responding to a reported building fire in Ballard (north Seattle). Early reports suggest that it was an exterior fire, started by a transient, that spread to the interior of the building.

2:14 – Engine 21 repositioning while Staff-10 and Air-10 respond

3:27 – Medic 44 (medical supervisor) responding
3:41 – On-scene footage

5:55 – SFD Fire Investigator arriving

At 4:41, you can see someone filming in the upper right window of the green and tan building. His video is here: https://twitter.com/proudchicano/status/1205537103334932480 and you can see me filming in the tan jacket!
