WOW... what a fire

I'm too tired right now to think of a better title for this post.... but I know there's a good one out there.

I got an early morning call about a fire at World of Wings. (best chicken wing place in town) The restaurant is in a building with two other businesses. I thought I'd give a sort of play-by-play of what the fire fighters did early Wednesday morning.

First, they put out the fire. (duh) I was not there for this part, so I don't have a photo to show.

Second, they ventilate the building by putting huge fans by the front door and blow the smoke out the back door.

After that, they check on the business next door. It was filled with smoke and water. That's the Assistant Mgr. of this Marine Supply store sitting down in front of her store. (this store sells recreational boating supplies) I'm hoping for a "smoke damage" sale where I can pick up a cooler and floaty key chain for super cheap.


After getting that under control, the Fire Chief goes into the burnt building to look for clues on where and how the fire started. This blaze started in the kitchen somewhere. They pretty much narrowed it down to one area, but don't know the cause yet. (FYI... I smell REALLY bad right now)


Now that leaves one business in this building that we don't know about yet right? Well, thank god, it was unharmed. And it opened right as everything was winding down too. Tall Espresso Macchiato White Mocha Latte Cappuccino Extra Cream on me!
