    Yeah, I was on 17th when it was in the final stages of being extinguished. The top floor is pretty much a goner. Traffic was full on retard in that whole neck of the woods, traffic was closed in at least a blocks direction all around it, including Mac Trail south....

    Was a block away when this fire was in full swing. Largrest amount of smoke I've ever seen.

    CFD got it under control really quickly though, props to them. Went from black as the night to mostly white/grey smoke, then nothing, in about an hour.
