Fireworks roundup - smoke in Woodway and a death in Redmond

Quiet 4th of July for
Shoreline Fire

Harborview Medical Center treated approximately 50 patients to date for fireworks-related injuries.

However, Shoreline Fire says that they had no reported fireworks related injuries!

There was a lawn fire in Woodway which produced an impressive amount of smoke, but the residents had put out the fire before the department arrived and before it reached any structures. 

The smoke stayed in the atmosphere for a very long time.
