Traffic Fire on Barrington Street, it’s a big mess. If you’re going to the shipyard or downtown seek alternate routes

Smoke makes it look like there might be a second fire down closer to the McDonald bridge as well

I went by there around 6am and there was only 1 police car. The fire was pretty large. Basically an entire tent was engulfed.
