Crazy Fire!

Holy smokey fire outside our window!

There is some three alarm fire happening just across the street from our building - aparently there is something happening at the Department of Sanitation, and possibly a diesel fuel tank may be on fire!

Westside Fire 1
Felipe and I saw the plume of smoke as we were walking home from some errands. Unfortunately, it was at that time that I remembered that our window was open about a foot and the 20 mph winds were blowing that smoke right towards out building.

This is what it looked like when we finally got to near our apartment building.

Here you can see the fire boats on the water trying to extinguish the fire.

Hmm...that is a surprise for a Saturday morning! How much smoke got in your place?

Just enough to make it smell for a while. We managed to febreeze and fan it out. But the hallway still smells like a fireworks display!
