Firefighters battled a large fire that had broken out on the Duwamish River in South Seattle around 8:30 pm on June 26. This video, filmed and shared to Facebook by Stevo McElhenney, shows thick clouds of smoke rising up from the blaze. In his commentary, McElhenney said he heard the explosion and thought it was a jet crash. "I didn't think anything of it for two minutes," he went on. "The next thing I see all the black smoke blowing over, and I'm like, aw man, something went horribly wrong." The cause of the fire has not been reported.
