Larrick Ridge Fire
Imagine my surprise; just having departed La Rue Airport (yes, there is such a thing) and being presented with a great column of black smoke. Obviously, on a calm Saturday evening, something was amiss.
Being in my favorite mode of transportation, I was overhead the Larrick Ridge Road fire location about two minutes later. It was burning merrily, one building completely engulfed, other nearby buildings yet unlit and, to my eye, no fire trucks there yet.
