Major fire!

This was an abandoned cotton mill that went up in flames this past week. It took fire departments from 3 local cities to control it from spreading.

Glad they were able to contain it - it's been scary lately.

@milaniet Indeed. And this happened as we are in water conservation mode! No rain for 40 days...until now.

A job for the demolition experts :)

So much damage, but a nice textured image

[GaryW]

@hermann It certainly will be.

[GaryW]

@craftymeg That drew me to it. Thanks!

[Kathy]

Glad it was put out. So much oil from the machines and wood in the floors and walls. They are giant tinderboxes.

[GaryW]

@randystreat Very true! It smoldered for days!

[Kareen King]

Fav! Very cool image! Too bad it burned down.

[Stephanie]

What a big shame, strange how it looks now standing like that in 2 separate parts. I wonder what will happen to it now...

[GaryW]

@kareenking Thank you Kareen. Yes, it was quite a fire. There was talk of revitalizing the building into condos or offices.

@stephanies I assume demolition and clearing will be the next step.
