Holy crap! I've heard reports on the radios at work (they have the phones on Peak and the warehouse on CJAY) the reports contradicted each other though. One said it was a building under construction and the other said it was one that was already built :dunno:

I was about 5 blocks away when the Fire started, fuckin crazy! It spread so damn fast!:eek: Traffic was a nightmare on Mcleod trail south, and there were fire trucks coming from every direction! Listening on the Radio, they were saying cars were exploding from the spreading fire, those were really nice apartments too! Hope no one was trapped inside!:(

Chad's across the street from the fire. Last I heard he's not affected.

*UPDATE* - Just saw live pics from TV, apparantly, 3 adjacent condos are burning with the original condo that burnt down. 9 hurt so far...

I took like 80 pictures ... I should post em up after I see which ones turned out. Crazy fire, it was still going at 8:30pm and according to some of the police officers on the scene, they are expected to be there all night until morning.

I was on the scene at the time
some coworkers and i saw the smoke and decided to investigate
we got into the lindsay park parking lot before they shut down mcleod trail and watched the buldings burn from about a block away, close enough to feel the heat.
saw some guy save his vw but still got melted taillights
then some other guy flagged us down and asked us to open his garage manually because the power was out so he could save his mazda 626, cool thing is he paid us 20 bucks for about 2 mins worth of our time.
anyway hectic blazes, lots of damage, cool to watch but i feel sorry for the people who live there.

Sean (AKA 626 Saviour) :) :thumbsup:

Those condos are about a block and a bit away from where I live. When I got home from work yesterday the power was out, and didn't come back on until 5:30 this morning.

YES she was, but I didn't have enough balls to take a direct shot of her ... didn't wanna get arrested for harassment or something! :) damn I need a press pass!! :bigpimp:

Initial damage estimates have been released .... "In excess of $60 Million" and cause of the fire has been determined by
fire investigators to be accidental in nature and was construction related. I bet someone is gonna lose their job!
