Yeah, I was just walking my dog down in Fish Creek at that time and I saw all the black smoke, wow.

It's one of the many car junkyards along 52 St SE near Erin Woods Dr. Items involved are reported to include junked cars (with varying levels of fuels aboard), propane, and perhaps one or two structures (garages).

Man that was a good fire. I live just blocks from the fire and it sounded like bombs going of every 10 to 30 seconds. I took some pictures of the fire and will post more later.

That place is called the "Junk Yard" hahaha
I have been there a few times for some car parts!

Oh man I was waiting for the day that tire pile just burst into flames. I first thought when I saw this that it was fire training which is just down the road. They sometimes light up a whole old stone building. Which was hub oil at one point.

I was listening to the voice paging, and when they said the address I thought it was the 7-11 gas station that went up. They were asking pumpers to load up as much foam as physically possible.
