Was driving home East on 75th when it happened. I saw the smoke funnel and started driving towards it out of curiosity. Got to the edge of the plaza and could see flames jumping up behind the buildings and smoke everywhere. Ts & Ps and I'm serious about the Ps you guys.

I've always wanted one of those fires where you roll up and just think  "oh crap ."

Now that it's happened i feel sort of bad for wanting that.

Great fire though.

Im a lieutenant/paramedic on an engine that runs an avg of 15 alarms a day. That's approximately 10 hours of work plus another 5-7 to write reports. Plus allof the other misc duties i have to complete each day.

but yeah, i don't do anything.

[pissclams]

what can you tell us about it?  here's what i'm guessing happened-  the explosion occurred directly in front of JJ's, from the gas line that was broken.  the explosion broke the front pane glass windows that covered the entire front of the restaurant effectively torching the inside of the dining room and the bar which went up like a tinder box.  ceiling collapsed almost immediately.  no front walls (all glass) left to fall in.  i'm assuming the KCFD pushed in the West brick wall along SW Trafficway/Belleview?
