Well, that was pretty exciting. Certainly not something you see every day. I was convinced it was a car crash until the flames became visible.

Great photo!

This happened at the very end of 6th period. Fire trucks arrived 12 minutes after the first 911 calls that our class made, but I'm still not clear about the cause of the fire.
