We saw a fire
On my ride home tonight traffic was backed up on Shoreline for about 1.5km. One of the apartments with the brown roofs [1] was on fire. The outside walls of the apartments are clad with wooden tiles. As I rode past there were flames climbing the outside of the chimney.
After I got home Louise and I walked back to have a look. There was plenty of smoke, and possibly the whole complex had been evacuated because there were a lot of people out in the street. At least 6 fire units turned up (more were arriving when we left) and 4 helicopters were up getting news footage. By then the chimney was just a skeleton, as you can see if you look carefully at the top photo.
[1] Roofs or Rooves?
