Title: fire downtown?

What with with all that black smoke around north newnan today?  it was a *ton* of smoke, and then it was gone as quickly as it appeared.

It might have been one of JTA's "trolleys". It was leaving a cloud of black smoke behind it today, like it was burning oil... or on fire.

Light rail can't do that!

An unrenovated house burned to the ground between 1st and 2nd on Hubbard St in Springfield.

I saw that fire as I was driving home for lunch.  it was the most intence house fire I have ever seen.  I could feel the heat from a block away.  It was crazy!

the amount of smoke was unbelievable.  and it seemed to stop just as quickly as it started.  good job on the FD's part.
