I saw this as I walked through my old neighbourhood on the way to work this morning. This particular block (Somerset Street between Booth and Rochester) seems to be plagued by catastrophic fires, often of a suspicious nature. This is where five members of the Thach family, including three children, were killed in a horrific fire in 2005.
Dozens of people and animals live in these two buildings. I hope they all got out safely.
Robin has more photos over at Watawa Life.
I’ll be posting more here tonight.
Right in the action kiddo
good shots
I could still see the smoke this morning when I got up – and I’m out by the Experimental Farm. It must have been pretty intense. The sirens woke me up last night, too.
I hope everyone is ok.
I could smell smoke early this morning out at Elgin.
oh dear, history repeats itself. hope noone was hurt.
