One day at work a couple of years back we spotted a huge fire a couple miles away. On this day I had my camera gear with me and decided to take some pictures on my way home if there was anything to be seen. I later learned that this was a CD duplication company. Firefighters were dumping an insane amount of water on this building for several hours.

  1. Those are great pictures, albeit an unfortunate circumstance. Did you give any to newspaper or TV?

  2. No I didn’t. Perhaps I should have tried to send some in somewhere. Perhaps one of the free Santa Monica papers would have been interested.
