The Seattle Fire Department responded to a blaze around 2:30 Friday morning at a cannabis cultivation facility in south Seattle.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, they determined the flames had originated from a small, 15-by-20-foot room filled with cannabis plants. It appears the fire was a result of an electrical short circuit, though the incident is still under investigation. Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board records indicate that facility is registered to a company called New Direction, which has been approved for a license but is not yet active.
Responders were able to extinguish the blaze in about 30 minutes.
