At 10:37 this morning, multiple fire units responded to a fire at 12712 Lake City Way Northeast, according to Real-Time 911. What's notable about that, according to our gumshoe Twitter tipster, is that that's the address of the business consulting firm run by Joel Hodgell, a local anti-spam activist.

If he's kept fighting the good fight, we wonder if any spammers have upped the ante beyond legal fees. UPDATE: "The minor fire was caused by food on the stove, department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick said," reports the 911 Blog, undercutting our groundless speculation about spammer arsonists seeking payback. more ›
