I chased down this little blaze yesterday, looked like more from the smoke. Turned out to be a mousetrap fire. (mousetrap is what DFD calls the abandoned and half burned structures due to the dangerous nature of search and rescue)
all who wander are not lost
we spotted it from Eastern Mkt & were there when the roof was still on it. drew quite a crowd. it went from house to ashes in about 15min. ive never felt a fire so hot…even with the windows rolled up in my car we could feel the heat
Randy, i posted my pics on my forum ;)
It is an old grocery store, next to the Packard plant complex. Im on the roof of the office building.
That second picture looks like the architecture of an old A&P. They had that side gable with a weather vane on top. Where was/is it?
