Smoke Alarm at Haley’s
Posted October 16, 2013 at 5:34 am by Tim Dustrude
Here’s a notice that popped into the Update email box from Sheila Harley, the Public Information Officer at San Juan Island Fire Rescue…
At approximately 4:20 AM, [on Tuesday morning, Oct. 15th], dispatch alerted San Jan Island Fire Rescue of a smoke alarm sounding at Haley’s Sports Bar and Grill on Spring Street in Friday Harbor.
Two fire engines and a rescue unit responded with about a dozen firefighters and three fire officers.
No flames were showing but smoke and steam was appearing at the back of the building. After the smoke was cleared from the roof, it was determined that a commercial dishwasher was the source. A hot water line had failed and filled the building with steam. Firefighters assisted in removing water from the kitchen floor.
The traffic from the incoming 5:25 AM ferry was diverted away from the area.
The owner of Haley’s, Bobby Tangney, intends to open for business as usual today.
The incident was over at 5:45 AM.
