Fire near Rock

Post by Bubble T » Tue Feb 27, 2018 5:08 pm

The Rock or the building behind it is on fire.

Edit/update; It's getting worse. It looks like the thick smoke is coming from the building behind the Rock but close enough that both will be damaged. Can hear fire trucks trying to get through the rush hour traffic, and big crowds are backed up around the Caltex opposite.

Didn't a guy get shot there a while back? Maybe he's well again...

The fire seems to be out now, impressively fast. Looks like over a dozen fire trucks, all turned up very quickly and seem to have done their job well. One would assume that's a combination of who it's owned by, and how close it is to the fire station at Toul Sleng.

Latest from the guys at Smart a couple of doors down is that it’s still going and they’ve lost control. Anyone else closer, but not Boots Hansen close of course...

Yep, I was wrong about it being done. The initial thick black smoke is gone but there are still visible flames and fire trucks coming back and forth (a lot more of them in the past 15 mins)

Is The Rock going to re-brand itself as The Cinder? We'll have to wait and see, only another 5 hours or so till daylight.
