Two nights ago, at around 2:30 am a car and a pile of garbage caught fire and burned for about 20 minutes before the firefighters took control of it. It was right outside my apartment building and it penetrated through the overhead pass on the sidewalk and actually hit the building a bit. It damaged some property and people on this side of the building from floors 1-4 were evacuated for a while. I live on the 11th so I was out of harms way...well kinda.
I tried to get shots of the Fire but the smoke wouldn't let me. My whole apartment was filled with thick black smoke. We had to close the window and vent out the smoke into the hallway. It wasn't as damaging to us than the people living on the second floor. I know them and their door was ripped open by the firefighters and hosed down a few stuff.
I had to wait for the smoke to clear out before I could get any kind of shot. Here is a pic of the dark night. Firetrucks and the destroyed car in the bottom center. It was lucky the flames never touched the fuel tank otherwise it would have been an ugly site. It was a brand new red shiny car too lol

Here is another shot with the overhead pass thing on the side walk - they said it caught on fire but i only see a portion of it caught on fire. And also on the right side you see like the pieces of window and the wired cover thing - that's from the second floor, they blew it open from the inside trying to "save" people lol

The car looks purplish, but it was red...dont know if the fire did that or i was seeing stuff.
