Fire investigators seek cause of NOAA blaze
By Sara Jean Green
Seattle Times staff reporter
Investigators today will get their first waterside view of the damage caused by Wednesday's four-alarm fire that gutted two piers on South Lake Union.
The fire began around 1:20 a.m. Wednesday
The fire apparently started at the end of one of two NOAA piers, which jut about 500 and 600 feet into Lake Union. A couple of Seattle police department Harbor Patrol boats arrived within minutes, and officers "were madly pumping water onto the fire but they weren't even making a dent," Robbins said.
Seattle firefighters attempted to fight the blaze from the pier but were forced back to the lake's eastern shore when the wind suddenly changed, causing flames "to mushroom" to both the north and south, said Seattle Fire Chief Gregory Dean.
It took 100 Seattle firefighters, along with dozens more from several Eastside departments and the Coast Guard, until about 11 a.m. to get the stubborn blaze under control.
Two of five buildings on the 15-acre NOAA Pacific Marine Operations Center were destroyed and two large steel-hulled ships, the 175-foot McArthur I and the 224-foot Assertive, suffered heat damage to their starboard sides, said Ablondi.
"It's devastating," Ablondi said of the fire that will force NOAA officials to find alternate berths for four ocean-research vessels when they return to their Seattle homeport in the fall. It could be a couple of years before the piers are rebuilt, he said.

The embedding's very subtle.
It was probably overlooked...

Mexican Radio
Wall Of Voodoo
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican whoa-oh radio
I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican whoa-oh radio
I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican whoa-oh radio
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican whoa-oh radio
Radio radio...
What does he say

Others have a more unusual theory.
