Black smoke  

Big fire in Oak Park just down the street from me yesterday -- it was in a municipal building where they store the snowplows, which means the village probably took a big hit. The upside is of course that nobody was hurt, although it sounds like a couple of apartments in the neighboring building were damaged, and when I ran by today it looked like the whole building has been temporarily evacuated. My wife and I were impressed that the Salvation Army was on the scene even before the fire was out.
