Building on fire on Bridgeport
Passed by an hour ago, saw a huge plume of smoke but couldn't get a decent look due to fire trucks and the such blocking the road. Was on Simpson just behind Bridgeport, a few buildings down from G5. Anyone know whats located there?

Not sure what it is. But also saw it driving by about 2 hours ago. Pretty big fire.
It's very close to where that small plane crashed a year or so ago.

Not richmond but there's a huge fire at the saw mill behind the west coast express in mission. My buddy lives close and said the mill is gone and it smells like a tire fire with all the convoyer belts burning

I drove by at around 11:15 and it was still smoking like crazy. You can see the huge cloud of black smoke from Ikea.

I drove by again at 5pm and it was still pouring smoke across bridgeport. They were shooting into the building and two excavators were hitting the walls.

^How did you not notice? Just before then, Simpson was completely blocked off from Bridgeport with fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, and a transit supervisor SUV, plus the HUGE plume of smoke... lolol
