Macca Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Can see from where I am, looks like it's over Breeze Hill way from what I can see. Does look pretty huge. Did hear some explosions around 6ish? Maybe some gas bottles at a warehouse have gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 "Vance Miller could only watch on in horror as 60ft flames engulfed the mill and destroyed his kitchen business." Yeah, right. Allegedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 "Vance Miller could only watch on in horror as 60ft flames engulfed the mill and destroyed his kitchen business." Yeah, right. Allegedly. He is quoted in the MEN as saying that he's not insured as no one would insure him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Must be one of those "underworld enemies" he's always carping on about then. How terribly sad. My heart is overwhelmed with pity for poor, innocent Vance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Good video that. Me and Dave saw that section after most of it fell and chunks were still dropping off it. Does anyone know if they contained the spread? It looked to us like the second Maple Mill building was starting to burn around the edges as we left last night.
