More like freaky pictures. Do you know how many firefighter get hurt rushing around and falling on the ice?> Might seem silly or stupid, but it is a reality.

It was obviously on our 10:00pm news the other night ~ this was a 5-alarm [highest rating here] fire ~ the fire raged for hours on a brutally cold day that extended into night ~ all firefighters were pulled out of the buildings early on because the fire spread so quickly and the buildings became so unstable so fast ~ an additional worry was that there is a major power station within maybe 2 blocks of the fire location ~

One firefighter with a minor back injury on this? That's pretty good.

Is your comment supposed to be related to the "neat-ness" of the pics?

What is neat to you is scary to me, but I have to live it every 3rd day, for 24 hours. Which happens to be today.

ETA- It still looks "neat" and I wasn't admonishing you

It is.

I think the concern now would be for the structural integrity of the building. All that ice is heavy!

There is no integrity of the structure of either the first warehouse or [I believe] the other two that were engulfed ~ that's why all firefighters were pulled from inside the structures early on ~ maybe it was speculation, but the news reported that all structures will be razed ~
