>>Fire disrupts stations at Seattle's Fisher Plaza

SEATTLE – A fire at a Seattle building disrupted a server farm that provides service to multiple Web sites - including one that facilitates electronic transactions for tens of thousands of businesses and Microsoft's new search site.

The fire also affected television and radio stations in Seattle that broadcast from the building.

The small fire broke out around 11 p.m. Thursday in the basement of Fisher Plaza at an electrical vault - a room of the building where city power lines meet the building's transformers, said Seattle City Light spokesman Scott Thomsen.

Rob Dunlop, vice president of operations for Fisher Communications, said one of the main clients who uses the data center is Internap Network Services Corp., a company that manages data centers and routes Internet traffic. Calls to Internap were no immediately returned Friday.
