Unusual Monday
Written on Oct 16, 2006 // Happenings.
Across the street at work there was a huge ass fire today which burned a couple of buildings down and took the firemen hours to master, and even longer to fully extinguish.
The photo is what we saw from our building about halfway through the spectacle. Luckily the wind was blowing away from our position, or things would have gotten icky for us, seeing as there’s a candy factory right across the street, with a gas station next to it…
News article about it, in dutch:
Zeer grote brand in Weert
