This story, awfully, has it all. Slog tipper Jill in Columbia City says:

The news helicopters just left after about an hour. And the firefighter request for cops is horrible-sounding.

The part where four pit bulls (and a mixed-breed dog pit bull mix and, possibly, a Pomeranian) surrounded the firefighters‘ truck, preventing medics from treating the victim, and they had to call SPD for backup… yes, horrible-sounding, indeed.

UPDATE: They’ve updated the story at KOMO since this post was written, so I have now updated it here, but thanks for yelling at me in comments anyway! I think you’re still right, though, commenter JimmyCap—Dan’s gonna love this.

UPDATE-UPDATE: Headline changed to reflect changed headline of KOMO story. That is all.
