[Traffic Cam] Seattle FD fights multiple boat fires (with Marine 1, Air 260, Air 26 responding)

On May 3rd, 2022, I captured footage of Seattle Fire units battling several boats and a boat house on fire in the Georgetown neighborhood.
The fire was accidently started by an elderly man living on one of the boats, who was a heavy smoker and on oxygen. That man was later found deceased, and another person was injured. Several of the oxygen tanks could be seen exploding on footage from a WSDOT camera (0:56).
Several rarely seen SFD units were also seen responding on camera, including Air 26 - the smaller counterpart to Air 260, both based in the South Park neighborhood.
Units ended up stretching hose across train tracks, and there was apparently some difficulty getting ahold of the rail companies. They ended up dispatching an engine a mile up the tracks on either side to watch for oncoming trains. The tracks belong to UP, and are a low speed industrial line.
Units dispatched:
Initial call:
Engines 5, 10, 11, 13, 28
Ladders 3, 12
Battalions 2, 5, Deputy 1, Safety 2, Staff 10
Medics 26, 44, Aid 14
Rescue 1, Air 26, Air 260
Fireboat 2
Later units:
Marine 1, Engine 36, Ladder 1, PIO, Marshal 5
Rail watch units:
Engines 6, 22
Clip listing:
0:00 - Smoke column seen near raised drawbridges
0:09 - Photo from SFD twitter
0:15 - View from a different traffic camera
0:56 - View from WSDOT camera, with tanks venting and exploding

2:41 - Marine 1 responding with Engine 36
3:35 - Air 260 and Air 26 responding

For sure! I've only gotten Air 26 on traffic cam one other time, and it was years ago. Thanks for watching!

I worked at the fab shop (by the crane boom) several years ago. A couple of the the helpers lived on boats moorde there. Went down to see one of the guys boat. It was a disaster, barely floating. All the boats on this float were in poor condition. No wonder there was a fire.
