INCIDENT DESCRIPTION
At 4:24 pm on November 3, 2023, the Seattle Fire Department responded to a hazardous materials call in the 6000 block of 52nd Avenue S for reports of a suspicious envelope containing an unknown white powder delivered to a synagogue. After an investigation, the substance was found to be non-hazardous but was never identified. There were no injuries. This was one of four suspicious packages sent to Seattle synagogues, with three having suspicious powder. There were no injuries from any of the envelopes. Days later, at least four Washington state election offices also received white powder, including fentanyl. The FBI investigated, but I don’t recall any arrests being made.

MY NOTES
Trying to get rid of the last of my recordings from my Xbox Game Bar folder, which I recorded on the built-in screen recorder. This is a really old one, and one of two hazmat responses I caught when the Station 10 camera was facing the right way. Note to anyone out there: You can’t change the frame rate and resolution of the game bar screen recorder, so a 17 minute recording is 3.4 gb. Don’t use it

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…
