Seattle Firefighters quickly responded to a fire in the Alaska Junction around the 4700 block of California Ave SW shortly before 4am on May 14. The fire was reported to be on the back side of Poggie Tavern. About 14 units were dispatched as a normal routine for a fire in a building call, but some were eventually cancelled due to it being a small fire.

Battalion Chief James Hilliard of the Seattle Fire Department spoke with the West Seattle Herald. He said, " Engine 32 was the first engine to arrive to put out a dumpster fire and they had discovered that there was minor extension onto the exterior of the structure on the overhang so they cut holes in the roof to make sure the fire didn't spread. The inside of the business is fine, nothing suspicious was reported."
