Fire reported at 17th Ave apartments - UPDATE

UPDATE 12:30 PM:
The incident is closed and units are leaving after only twenty minutes so sounds like a minor incident. We'll give SFD a call to find out what happened. Here's more information on Olive Ridge. It's a low income apartment complex operated by the Seattle Housing Authority.

Original Post:
There is a large Seattle Fire Department response underway at a reported fire in the Olive Ridge apartments at 1700 17th. No details yet several units are still at the scene. We will update as information comes in.

For multi-family structures, rollouts are almost always large so the number of units responding doesn't necessarily indicate a significant incident.
