Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews spent much of the night and early morning responding to a trash fire at Seattle’s South Transfer Station. SFD crews were first called at around 12:30 a.m. Friday, and were still on scene until approximately 7:30 a.m.
According to early reports from SFD, the fire extended to an adjacent building, but firefighters later confirmed that it was contained to the facility, only jumping to separate rubbish piles within the facility.
