It’s been a while since I got a response this good, and I finally got the new Ladder 9! One March 7th 2026, I filmed numerous Seattle Fire units responding to a fire in the basement of a church in Greenwood. They quickly knocked down the fire, but a call for a second fire came in as they were wrapping up, so I was able to catch Rescue 1, the Chiefs and Engine 27 responding a second time!
Also featured: some on-scene footage, and a Tesla driver who couldn’t figure out how to get out of the way.
I was happy to get Engine 18 responding – they’re getting a new rig soon, so I’m not sure how many more chances I’ll get to capture the E-One on runs. This was also my first time seeing the new Ladder 9 after missing it on Christmas day. Finally, I loved getting a chief parade with Rescue 1 at the rear of it. Thanks for watching!
