SEATTLE —

A fire at Fisher Plaza disrupted television and radio stations that broadcast from the building near the Seattle Center and affected a server farm that provides service to multiple Web sites.

The vice president of operations for Fisher Communications Inc., Rob Dunlop, says a fire at an electrical vault broke out around 11 p.m. Thursday, forcing the evacuation of the building.

KOMO Radio and KOMO-TV are broadcasting Friday from remote locations.

KOMO Radio is reporting that the fire also affected a data center located in the building, which is disrupting service at several Web sites, including Verizon Communications Inc. and Authorize.net Holdings Inc., which provides credit card services for merchants.

Authorize.net's Web site is down Friday morning.
