Local building fire

Erich and I heard a LOT of sirens so we looked out and could smell smoke, so we decided to grab the dog and take a walk to see what the commotion was all about. Turns out a business was on fire. We didn't know which one at first, but it turned out to be a furniture store which had its warehousing between the street-side stores and a lumber yard.
I took a couple of photos on my phone
but we didn't want to get much closer from that way, so we walked back home, grabbed the camera and drove around to taco bell which was across the road from the fire.
Clearly I need to take lessons in night photography.






The firemen had quite an audience. They did a really good job at keeping it away from the surrounding buildings. The big flames were over by the time we got there with the proper camera, but we stuck around till about 3am, by which time we were really starting to feel the cold
