I will.  Thanks.  It's just that you look at all that smoke and, like Greedy says, "Yikes!"

Good Luck!

Status: offline 		This is a photo I took from a spot near my back yard on friday around 5:15pm or so.  It is approximately five miles distance.  The smoke, by the time it got to my area was a bit to the south and high enough not to be a bother.  The fire was finaly put out Saturday morning and now the investigation begins.  They're saying it looks like an electrical failure but that the tires were not properly stored.  This is not the first time this company has had troubles.  I feel sorry for the people who live nearby... I wonder how long it will be before the stench goes away.

Yeah, tires are a bitch to put out but they say they have done so (there's no more smoke, at any rate) but they are still pouring water on it and keeping an eye open, just in case.
