Those Photos where taken as the day progressed, the fire started in the early afternoon and was not declared under control until after eight o'clock that night. It continued to burn well into the wea hours of the morning. Before the smoke even cleared they had construction crews on scene and the building 90% nocked down.

Taken with my digi point and shoot after the smoke cleared.

(These buildings are across the street from where this factory stood)

That factory composed nearly half of this cities industrial district....this fire destroyed more than half of our industrial district. To put it bluntly this fire smells of insurance fraud or native American rage...not sure which yet but still this fire was diliberate.
