INCIDENT DESCRIPTION
At 3:44 pm on September 23, 2024, several Seattle Fire Department units were dispatched to a fire response at 1919 S Jackson Street in the Central District of the city. While units responded, the incident was upgraded to a full structure fire response, and 4 units became 23. Engine 6, Central District, arrived first on scene and immediately declared a working fire, reporting smoke and flames from the roof of a Vietnamese restaurant. Engine 6 quickly got water on the fire with Engine 25 from Capitol Hill. Ladder 1 was the first ladder truck on scene. The video begins roughly three minutes after Engine 6’s arrival. The fire, coming out of a kitchen vent, was put under control fairly quickly, though crews stayed on scene for a while ensuring the fire on the roof was out and making sure there was no spread to the attic. The response was eventually reduced, with some companies staying to pour water to cool down the vent that had been burning. The incident lasted two hours and fourteen minutes. The Moonlight Cafe says everyone is safe but they are closed until further notice, as of this video’s upload.

MY NOTES
Finally caught one live! I think I’ve said this before but editing on-scene traffic camera footage with audio after-the-fact is super hard to line up properly; I might consider buying Broadcastify Premium. I also caught a water rescue on Alaskan Way just a few hours later, which I might post if I decide the footage is good enough

WTCR seeks to highlight the everyday operations of first responders in several major Washington state cities, as seen from public traffic cameras. This channel focuses on their actions, responses, and of course their shiny trucks. WTCR is not monetized.
Thanks for watching! These descriptions sure take a long time to write…
