For those that weren’t home (or in the North Panhandle) around 5pm tonight to see the enormous fire at Central & McAllister, I got a photo to share with you.

The fire more or less destroyed three buildings, and damaged a total of five, on both McAllister and Central (I’m guessing it destroyed a total of eighteen to twenty apartments). I left my house to investigate after I heard the twentieth fire truck go by, and noticed the huge plume of smoke.

This is such a bummer. Hopefully nobody was injured, that everyone’s pets got out alright, and that folks have some insurance…
