I don't think its downtown. I'm in Ramsey (just south of Inglewood) and it looks just a few miles south of here. Industrial area perhaps. Not sure what's going on - may be worth a short little drive to check out.

Hmmm, seems like it's out now... It looked like a pretty darn big blaze judging from the smoke.

Definetely not... I've seen Airport drills in the past and this didn't seem to be in the area of the airport and it seemed alot bigger.

The fire is near the corner of Mcleod and Heritage in the south, on Horton Road.

Smoke going across Mcleod.

Took a drive to see what it was but it was much further than I figured so I turned back. It seems like its a little south of Glenmore, near Macleod. Not sure what it is. A couple more fire trucks flew by me though.
