INCIDENT DESCRIPTION
At 5:05 pm on October 1, 2024, the Seattle Fire Department responded to a reported marine fire-on-shore at 2046 Westlake Avenue W, at a boat moorage dock on the west side of Lake Union. As with many vessel related incidents, specialty unit Marine 1 from Station 36 in West Seattle responded to the call. Engine 9, followed by Engine 8 were first due, and smoke was found from the bow of a boat. However, the fire was already out and the response was reduced to several units. The incident lasted forty minutes. The SFDLIVE incident page glitched out a bit so this incident’s page has disappeared.

This is real audio from SFD channels 2 (fire) and 5 (unit to dispatch) from the incident. Audio was recorded live alongside the video, so it is actually synced properly! Had some confusion on which channel the response was on so the initial report is missing.

MY NOTES
Actually got this video out fast! I was able to record the full response, except for the initial audio (which wouldn’t have had any video catches that early on). The camera quality is noticeably lower, which is because of the feeds being smaller with me recording so many cameras. I’ll consider other options in the future. Always great to see Marine 1, which is essentially a guaranteed catch on the West Seattle Bridge camera. Westlake once again proves to be the best location in Seattle in terms of traffic cameras.
A Bellevue fire response video is being edited and is nearly done, and will feature a couple Kirkland units, so stay tuned for that!
