This channel is *not* affiliated with the City of Seattle or the Seattle Department Of Transportation.
This channel features traffic camera footage and scanner audio that I record, showing fire responses, police incidents and other interesting footage from the Seattle area.
The City of Seattle streams their traffic cameras online but they don't retain the footage, so all these videos were recorded live with the screen-capture software on my laptop. I stream the audio from one of several scanner websites at the same time, which is where the radio traffic comes from.

[Traffic Camera] Seattle FD battles HUGE 2 alarm fire!
On July 13th 2024, Seattle firefighters battled a massive two alarm fire in south Seattle. The burning building was a multi-story apartment complex that was under construction. The fire also spread to a house next door, as well as two cars and some foliage across the street.
Thankfully, there were no injuries and firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to any more adjacent buildings.
Much of the scanner audio was missing for the first part of this incident - I checked both Broadcastify and OpenMhz. I was able to get a few clips which I included. The later part of the video includes more audio.
Recap of the incident along with some on-scene pictures here: fireline.seattle.gov/2024/07/13/2-alarm-fire-at-construction-site-extends-to-home-and-cars-in-the-columbia-city-neighborhood/

Large meteor captured on Seattle traffic cameras!
มุมมอง 43Kหลายเดือนก่อน
On September 23rd, 2024 a (comparatively) large meteor was seen entering Earth's atmosphere and burning up. This event was seen by hundreds of people up and down the west coast, and I was able to spot it on 5 different traffic cameras. Watch how it illuminates the clouds as it passes through the atmosphere. The sighting map I showed can be found here: fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/ev...

2 shootings caught on Aurora Avenue traffic camera

It's a deadly block on a dangerous stretch of road. There have been multiple shootings on Aurora Avenue in north Seattle over the past several months, including two captured on traffic camera (not graphic). The latest, which took place on July 6th, sent an innocent bystander to the hospital. Another earlier this year left a man seriously injured. There have been numerous other shootings in the ...

Here's another collection of crashes, captured on Seattle's traffic cameras. Once again, the drivers were very bad. re: the crash at 1:39, someone posted a sob story on reddit about how they'd been t-boned by a van which ran a red light, and a witness had lied on the scene and said they (the OP) had run the red light. It was a long post asking if anyone could help them find video of the crash. ...

On February 13th 2024, two brothers aged 12 and 13 went on a wild crime spree in north Seattle, starting with an armed car jacking and ending with a police chase.

On January 10th 2024, Seattle police chased an armed man who had threatened a woman who had a no-contact order against him. The chase started in Queen Anne, went through South Lake Union, and ended on Interstate 5, just south of James Street.

Even a minor to moderate collision can lead to months or years of pain, expenses a...

Incredible vid! How are you getting these live feeds at the framerate and moving the cameras? They always say "updating every 2 minutes"
Poor H line bus..
Intense 😮
It sure was - thanks for watching!
Nicely put together. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for watching!
You did an amazing job narrating the story of the fire ❤
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!
Wow. Not sure I've seen a bigger structure fire. They don't normally get fully involved. Not surprised this is arson.
Yeah, I think this was the biggest I've seen as well - thanks for watching!
Great video and nice editing! I had the footage too but eventually gave up on editing it because of the video length and confusing-to-line-up scanner audio Glad you could do it, pretty crazy fire
Great video and like how you break it down.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
good job...thank you for uploading this and other videos
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
My boys and I saw it driving southbound on I-5 on our way back from moving my daughter into her student housing at WWU. It looked like it was right in front of us, so it is a trip to know it could be seen all over the state.
Super cool that you saw it in person! Yeah, amazing how many people saw it, not just in WA but also OR, CA and even ID!
Ive seen a cop turn right in front of a bus on westlake in SLU. Honestly driving in Seattle is flirting with death every day. People from here so not know how to drive and i am happy i was taught to constantly look and predict other drivers movements because ive missed being hit several times.
Yeah, it's definitely a battle out there - I'd highly recommend getting a dash cam if you don't have one already. Thanks for watching!
@@SeattleTrafficCams are you always recording? How do you get all this footage? Is there a way that someone like me could watch something that happened yesterday?
@@Kelpie_Fia I have access to a site that archives all the traffic cameras for several days, so I could look something up for you if there's footage from a few days ago you're trying to locate. Feel free to email me with the date / time / location / what I'm looking for, and I'll see what I can find! seattletrafficcams@gmail.com
Awsome fire!! As usual great job to SFD!!
Yeah, this was a massive one - thank you for watching!!
Very good video and commentary! 👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate it!
This is absolutely gnarly!
It sure was - thanks for watching!
Wow, what a blaze! 🔥
Right? It was huge! Thanks for watching!
Just a correction: This was officially declared a 3-Alarm fire by SFD. Thanks for sharing this, though!
Read through the responses. I suppose either is correct, lol
Yeah, I think either way would work - I called it 2 because it was only 3 for a little while. Thanks for watching!
OMG. It's torching the tree. I actually didn't hear about this. I don't watch the news anymore.
Yeah, this was back in July but surprisingly I didn't see much on the news about it either. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Great that you just so happened to upload this on SFDs birthday! Hope you’re doing well with the kid 😂
Thank you! We are doing well - it's a lot of work and stress, but it's enjoyable too. Thanks for watching!
If this is a 2 alarm, wtf is a 3 alarm, a forest fire?!? 😂
It got upgraded to a 3 alarm originally, but the number of units we had on scene with the 2 alarm units was enough. (around 32 units are on a 2 alarm, that includes the original alarm units too, which is a standard 21 per full response)
We appreciate your efforts in bringing us these amazing video's. Cheers from Australia!
Thank you for watching - I appreciate it!!
Great capture!
Thank you!!
Fire is such an amazing creature......
Yeah, as awful as it is for property to be destroyed, it's hard not to marvel at flames shooting up that high into the sky. Thanks for watching!
@@SeattleTrafficCams Thanks for posting, I have been watching fire since I was a kid
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
No premounted deck guns on the engines?
They do. At something like this they may prioritize parking on the hydrant vs being close enough to use the deck gun.
That radiated heat is has the whole block smoking.
Yeah, it was intense for sure - thanks for watching!
I was sick when this was happening, and I was "kicking myself" for missing out
Oof, yeah, that's a big one to miss - you'll get the next one though. Thanks for watching Pete!
I do not understand,,, why the Deck Guns were not put into Use and why Seattle does not have Tower ladders.....
Finally your back
I'm back! I also had a few videos last month too 😀
@@SeattleTrafficCams are you going to post more often now
I'm going to try! The baby still takes most of my free time, but I should have a little more flexibility over the next few months.
@@SeattleTrafficCams ah right
Nice knowing how much we’re being watched.
Do you mean the traffic cameras, or the glowing sky orbs?
That is not a meteor.
The camera that was recording upside down cracked me up! Lol 😂
Lol, yeah, those are always trippy 😂
Cool! I saw something like this back in February in central Wa
What's absolutely insane is I saw one like this but way brighter and bigger a couple of years ago. Whats even crazier is I was almost waiting for it in a certain spot of the sky on a random night that i drove out to an empty field. It was enormous and lit up like day time and it just kept coming down. & as it was, it went in FRONT of the mountains that aren't very far from me. It was totally awesome to see
Wow, that sounds super cool to see! Thanks for watching!
Thing looked massive. Great catch man.
Thanks for watching!
The Martians have landed and War of the Worlds has just started. Wait till they knocked off the dirt and start hitting you with their rays. Whole tank divisions will be destroyed as their shields protect them. But take heart, Earth’s bacteria and pollution will kill them all. Orson Wells

Whoa!! at 4:33 Gas prices at that Chevron were expensive too lol that is crazy!
Lol, yeah, it got pretty bad here for a while ... thanks for watching!
Great captures.
Thank you!
That place went fast. I couldn't believe in a matter of a few minutes the deck pergola fire was spreading to the house. I'm assuming that no one was in the house because I didn't see an ambulance. Hope they didn't have pets inside.
Yeah, it went super fast. This was an airbnb, so thankfully there were no people or pets inside at the time of the fire.
Did I see 8 of these accidents caused by Prius drivers 😂😂😂
Lol, sounds about right - thanks for watching!
Hi, I saw a similar thing on 10/4/24 around 8 pm looking east from Greenwood. Did you catch anything on a traffic camera. It looked the same as this video.
Sorry for the late reply - I checked a few of the east facing cams around there but didn't find anything. It might have been a different angle, or the cams weren't quite facing the right direction.
Nobody's voice is less bearable than mine.
ready for today asteroid? 😂🤣
Cool as he** thanks for sharing

I saw this as well and believe it or not I was playing the Deep Purple album fireball when it happened I swear to God.
