SFD was called to the 10th Ave restaurant between Pike and Pine just before 7:30 AM to a report of a possible nitrogen leak in the venue’s kitchen. Liquid nitrogen leaks can be extremely dangerous as they quickly displace oxygen.
Arriving units learned the issue was likely limited to a carbon dioxide alarm and did not involve nitrogen. A hazardous material response crew made entry and confirmed the CO2 alarm issue.
The alarm was reported resolved and the building reopened.
E Pine was closed to traffic during the large Seattle Fire response.
There were no reported injuries.
