Crews from four fire departments fought a two-alarm warehouse fire in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood early Thursday.

Firefighters were called to the building in the 8600 block of Dallas Avenue South at 2:18 a.m. Thursday.

The warehouse at the South Park Marina along the Duwamish River is used to service boats. King County Fire District 2 tweeted that 13 boats were involved in the fire.

The roof and walls collapsed and the building is a total loss, according to fire officials.

Crews from Seattle, Tukwila, and Puget Sound and King County Fire District 2 responded. The Seattle Fire Department’s fireboat was also used to get the flames under control.

Smoke was still coming from the building just before 5:30 a.m., but the fire was under control.

Fire officials said one person who was working in the building when the fire started was hurt and was taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
