A massive fire that destroyed a funeral home in Seattle’s Columbia City and a second fire that burned a home under construction in the Mount Baker neighborhood were both intentionally set, according to the Seattle Fire Department (SFD).
The first fire at the funeral home was called out at 3:46 a.m.
When firefighters arrived at the Columbia Funeral Home and Crematory, the house was already well involved in flames. Crews took a defensive position and put water on the fire from outside the building.
No injuries were reported. Fire crews were putting out hotspots after the fire was under control. It was extinguished by 5:23 a.m.
