A fire sparked inside a pile of metal sent a large emergency response to Seattle Iron & Metals Corp. on Sunday. A general fire alarm alerted emergency crews to the flames shortly before 10 a.m., Lieutenant Harold Webb with Seattle Fire said. Firefighters found a pile of metal in the yard on fire, and upgraded the call to a hazardous material response as metal fires can be difficult to extinguish.
