Those old mill buildings always go up quick and big. The problem is after 50 60 or more years the wooden floor soak up so much oil and other flammible solvents they just go quick. Up here in Holyoke there were 2 mill fires that I remember watching from 4 or 5 blocks away and man did those firemen have a tough time with them. I dont envy those guys with that wind! i hope nobody gets hurt.

Sounds like that old mill complex where Cottage St and Central Ave cross.
It's close enough, but not too close. 'Bout a mile. They should be OK. |

Yeah.. that thing was not to far from my house. The day after, you could still smell charred wood and lord knows what else. I feel terrible for the families that lost everything.

My sister finally returned my call this afternoon---the fire was closer than I thought---right near the old Cottage St School. She lives two blocks east of Newport Ave and they evacuated everyone west of there. They were packed and ready to go if the fire spread any farther. The cars and the back yard are covered in soot and sooty water drops---the wind carried water from the fire all the way to her yard.

I work in Pawtucket and I can tell you that the wind was really ripping up here on Friday. I could see the smoke from the fira and it was traveling just about horizontal to the ground. I heard that one house that burned was five blocks from the fire.
