UPDATE: Seattle Fire response in Admiral

12:08 PM: What was briefly a Seattle Fire “full response” in Admiral a short time ago was quickly downsized. Crews arriving at the scene in the 2700 block of 45th SW [vicinity map] cited a suspected electrical fire, and subsequent information from dispatch says it’s believed to be a solar-panel problem.

12:16 PM: Firefighters report the fire is out. One crew reports that a “bundle of leaves” appears to be what ignited.

    This was our house. Fire was caused by a squirrel nest between the solar panels and the roof. Fire department also saw evidence of a chewed wire in the same area. Grateful for fast acting neighbors and the amazing Seattle Fire Dept!

    I live up the street, I’m glad the damage was no worse than it was. There were so many sirens!
