The Piquette Market Fire Aftermath.

Piquette Market Fire the aftermath. The smoke was still rising after the fire was out. Powdered dust from the bricks lined the streets. Steel is fireproof, but twists in a fire as it's heated and expands at different rates. Some fuel caused the fire to burn, probably all the cars, and other items stored inside. I don't remember reading the stories about the actual cause. This is some photos I took when I could get down there and these were stitched inside a photo stitch software program to create this. Brownfield reclamation project on this site now. They are supposed to rebuild. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI_dhNKEW-o A Youtube video I found doing a search.

    Here's an update on what will be happening with the site. Looks like it will become a homeless shelter.
