Firefighters responded to a house on 85th and 6th Ave. a little after 1 a.m.
Here’s a camera phone photo of firefighters on the roof of the house, which was reported as abandoned. Soon after firefighters arrived, the fire was under control. Dana Vander Houwen with Seattle Fire says that this was accidental fire caused by improperly discarded smoking material, which ignited dry grass and debris on the exterior of the vacant home. The damage estimate is $70,000. This is the same abandoned house where a suspicious fire broke out last November. (Thanks Silver and Rob for your help on the story!)
