Tonight, my family and I were strolling around the park, when we heard a LOUD BOOM! As if something nearby exploded.
Sure enough, we looked behind us to find a large cloud of smoke billowing overhead:
So I did what any responsible father would do... I put my wife and kids in the car and RUSHED to the scene!
Apparently a business that handled lawncare and lawnmower repair caught fire, and several gas cans exploded inside the building. I got there as the firefighters were in the thick of it!
After I was there a guy arrived with a news camera and a Nikon DSLR and confidently walked past police lines... so I followed him!
All in all, it was an exciting experience, and I felt bad for the business owners. I could've pushed the issue with the police a bit more to get a bit closer, but I saw no reason to do so.
Anyway, I sent them to local news outlets - maybe one of them will run it tomorrow!
