A few short months from now, federal and state foresters around the West will purposely set controlled burns to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires later.

Firefighters ran into trouble as they responded to an overnight fire at a commercial building in Shoreline - the nearest hydrant was broken. The battalion chief says a car hit the hydrant earlier this week and it hadn't been fixed yet. So crews scrambled to find another hydrant in the area. A small apartment was destroyed in the two-alarm blaze, across the street from Carter Subaru at 17225 Aurora Ave N.
