SEATTLE — An AT&T cell tower caught fire in downtown Seattle early Thursday morning.
The fire near 12th Avenue South and South Lane Street was first reported around 3 a.m. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) tweeted just after 3:30 a.m. that the fire blocked all northbound and southbound lanes of 12th Ave South at South Lane Street.
The Seattle Fire Department said crews requested to shut off electricity for the tower while crews extinguished the fire. The department said the fire was out by 4:10 a.m.
First responders said they do not believe the fire was intentionally set and that it was likely combustion. No injuries were reported, authorities said.
