This fire is at the Renton Christian Center

Yeah listening to it now.

Talkgroup 38544 seems to be primary channel.

I don't have my scanner set up for trunking right now. Can you give an update on what is going on?. Engines 13 and 41 were moved up to Stations 11 and 16 respectively.

It was originally dispatched as a minor fire with, as I recall, two engine companies and an aid car. It was almost immediately upgraded to a commercial response. It seems as though it was upgraded to a second alarm almost immediately after the first engine was on scene.

Yes they had quite a few units. They were using a truck's deck-gun for the main fire fighting. They were putting water on both sides and still getting smoke so it sounds like a pretty serious fire. No one was allowed inside per the commander on the scene.

Traffic has pretty much stopped now on the channel.

Hahah - I was watching the space needle on KING-5 and they had a blooper... about 30 secs of no fireworks!
