Fire!

Some people may have seen this on the late news on Channel 10 last night. It was a plastics factory.

I walked into our bedroom around 6pm and for some reason decided to look out the window, and this is what I saw! Must have just started. You can see that the smoke plume is *new*.


The next pics are about 20 minutes after the first and the smoke is just starting to be blown around. Look at those toxic fumes!

We could actually see the flames from where we live. If you look at the very last pic, although it's quite blurry, the orange lines about 3/4 down just below the horizon line are flames.


2 hours later and we could actually see the building itself burning from here, and the smoke was still billowing out. I think they had a hard time containing it.

Kids came round for dinner that night and they saw it too coming here. Great photos of it. Hope the little bugger who lit it, is punished well and truely.
