Now this time, playin my guitar up there, I notice some black plumage billowing in the air. I'm thinking it's some factory and continue with the jams.

I then see the real thick smoke. It's looking black but, hard to tell cause it's happening just about a block and a half away and the sky is almost pitch black. Then I smell like a wood burning smell.

I get up and walk to the end of my roof and I can really see smoke filling up the air. I hear sirens but they don't seem to be going in the same direction of the smoke so, I call 911.

I tell them my location and they say, "is this at such and such location". I tell them I'm not sure but I can see all this smoke from my rooftop and I give them my address.

They tell me that they've got a major building fire at the same place that I've described and that they've got trucks and paramedics on the way and that they appreciate my concern with the call.

Holy crap man, that thing was huge. I just sat up there listening to the sirens making their way there and watched the smoke and then started coughing cause it was real close to me.

I just hope everyone's ok.

I was at a stop light a couple of weeks ago and on the median there was a row of bushes. I saw a little fire. I said something to my wife and looked back over and the row of bushes (about 10 feet long) was on fire and the flames were at least 6 feet high. And this was in a matter of 20 seconds. I called 911 and they said they knew about it and someone was on the way. And then a bird shit on my halfway rolled down window and some of it splashed on my sleeve.
