Does anyone have anymore information on this fire? This is the Safeway I work at and went in there today to see what happened...everything is ok, business as usual. Didn't see any damage or anything, and of course didn't have my radio with me last night.Thanks!

It was a little weird the first engine onscene reported flames showing and requested a working fire tone, Batt Chief sent most of the entire dept then about 10 mins later another working fire tone on dispatch but never heard any size up or details about attaching an actual fire or such.

Might want to listen to the recording in the archives of scancolorado it was pretty impressive at the time, but seemed to turn into nothing.

That is interesting....I will have to investigate tonight at work. I'm assuming it was in the back of the store since pallets and trash were on fire. Thanks Jim!
