A fire that started in a detached garage spread to a residential structure on the grounds of a South Seattle synagogue Tuesday morning, according to the Seattle Fire Department. Firefighters responded to the 5100 block of South Holly Street after reports of a fire in a residential structure. The department initially urged people to avoid the area while crews worked.

Firefighters quickly put water on the flames and brought the fire under control, the department said. Crews later determined the blaze originated in a detached garage and spread to a nearby residential structure before firefighters arrived. Seattle Fire Department spokesperson David Cuerpo said the fire involved a structure on the property of Bikur Cholim-Machzikay Hadath, an Orthodox synagogue in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood.

The property includes the Seattle Mikvah at 5145 S. Morgan St. The ritual bath facility is on the synagogue grounds with access from South Holly Street. Fire crews completed primary and secondary searches of both the garage and the residential building and continued checking for hot spots. No injuries were immediately reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
