A brush fire on Interstate 5 in Seattle, Washington, ignited early Friday reportedly at an encampment before burning up trees in its wake.

Seattle firefighters responded to a call about an encampment fire located above James Street off-ramp that was blocked by the crews when they arrived at the scene, according to Fox 13.

UPDATE: Here is a visual of the incident on NB I-5 collector/distributor off-ramp to James St blocking the ramp. Incident Response, Fire, State Patrol & Seattle Police are on the scene.

A fire started by vagrants in a freeway right away in Washington state?

Gosh, there’s a new one.

Looks like antifa is back in town from its burning Canada campaign.

That is a common site in Florida. The first time I saw it a noted it to the person in the car with me. She said oh that’s common down here. Sure enough, the longer I was there the more I realized that was indeed the case.

More importantly, did it burn up any of Snow Mexican’s magical companions? Now that would be a shame.

Wildfire is HIGHLY rare in western washington at any time of year.

I grew up in the PNW.

From port Angeles on the peninsula to Kitsap.

In six years fighting wildfire I don’t remember even 1 fire in West of the cascade range.

Either this is coordinated and planned serial arson

and or

this story is more Climate Change narrative fodder

But, no! The pimps and whores masquerading as journalists assure us it's because of global warming! And the only solution is to send trillions of dollars to the chinks!

The I5 corridor in that area is mostly a mix of business , residential and empty wooded lots.

I don’t see how this can’t be easily contained and a non event

(minus sustained coordinated arson)

it’s kind of amazing that there aren’t constant wildfires with all the drugged up homeless and such in this country-

All fire related articles are written to bolster the climate change agenda. In reality, it’s not really that newsworthy.
