No reported injuries in reported ‘bug bomb’ explosion in Capitol Hill apartment building

Seattle Fire responded but fortunately found no flames after a reported explosion blew open doors inside an E Olive Way apartment building Wednesday.

According to SFD radio updates on the just before noon incident, units were dispatched after a resident reported an explosion inside the E Olive Way at Bellevue building.

Arriving firefighters found a bug bomb was to blame.

According to radio updates, fumigation efforts apparently set off an explosion caused by a small gas leak inside an apartment, blasting open the unit’s doors but causing no immediately reported serious injuries.

There was no fire reported and power remained on at the building, according to SFD updates.
