It looks like the dumpster fire problem has once again returned to Queen Anne. The 911 log shows that Seattle Fire crews were dispatched to two fires within minutes of each other early this morning.
The first call went out at 2:29am at 612 1st Ave W. Six minutes later, a dumpster fire was reported at 417 2nd Ave W. We’ve been tracking a rash of intentionally set dumpster fires for months. This past spring, fire officials even distributed arson fliers in the neighborhood.
Seattle Fire hasn’t put out any official information yet on today’s fires, and it’s tough getting in touch with anyone on the weekends. We’ll let you know once we get an update.
