I can hear several sets of sirens for the past 25 minutes but I don't know what is burning. I will have to go out and see or check the news later this morning. I pray no one died or got hurt. 25 minutes later and I find a report on the city's breaking news. There is a 3 alarm fire ripping through several businesses. It is sad. So much waste but I am hopeful no residences were affected and I am hopeful the small business owners had insurance.

Fire in the Morning
It is 5:20 a.m. and there is a knock at my door to tell me there is a huge fire down the street. I go outside on the patio and try and get photos. I don't have a good camera for night photos but these will show you just how big the fire is. Swirling, billowing black smoke turns to gray, then shades of crimson.

I am hopeful of that too.
ReplyDeleteWell they didn't mention anyone got hurt on the news coverage and I'm not sure about the insurance. The neighbourhood lost some of the most popular restaurants and sadly some of our history as these were old buildings.
ReplyDeleteI am hopeful of that too.
