SFD is on the scene at 35th & Wallingford, responding to a report of an upstairs fire in an abandoned single family home. It doesn’t look like there’s any major structural damage or injuries, but the fire department is using some equipment that sounds like maybe a generator or saw. If we learn more, we’ll let you know.
By the way — if you were one of those cars driving on Wallingford Avenue tonight competing with the 5 or 6 fire trucks for road space as they responded to this call, please go around the block next time to keep our firemen (and yourself) safe!

Power was out in places west of Stone Way to Aurora when I woke up at 12:30 a.m. and came back on an hour later. Any connection?
Doesn’t look like it re:power outage. The City Light outage page (http://www2.seattle.gov/light/outage2/) says that ~12000 customers in “the Fremont and Ballard” neighborhoods lost power. Cause “unknown.” Was it windy last night?
Power outage — doesn’t seem to have been related to the fire as noone nearby lost any power at the time and the fire dept was off-scene after about 45 minutes. They didn’t even use water. 😉
As for wind, none o’ that either. It seemed like a calm fall night in our side of the ‘hood. But MyBallard.com readers are commenting that they heard a loud boom right before the power went outP: http://www.myballard.com/2009/11/02/ballard-power-outage/#disqus_thread
