June 25
District 1 crews responded to 35 calls: 22 emergency medical aid calls, seven fires, two motor vehicle collisions and four fire alarms.
At 5:53 a.m., firefighters responded to a two-car collision at 164th St. SE and Meridian Ave. and took one patient to Stevens Hospital.
At 7:07 a.m., firefighters responded to a service station at 220th St. SW and 66th Ave. W in Mountlake Terrace to investigate a report of an explosion. Witnesses said an explosion blew a manhole cover off a pit that houses a fuel pumping mechanism, sending the 3-foot diameter cover flying about 10 feet in the air. No flames or smoke were seen. No one was injured. A fire investigator determined an electrical spark ignited fuel vapors in the confined space and caused the explosion. The service station immediately shut down its fuel pumps, which remained closed until all pumping mechanisms could be inspected and repaired by a technician. The service station reopened the next afternoon.
