Sprinkler connection

 

Two by two

 

An automatic sprinkler fire department connection has been installed next to the existing vent and outside water hose connection.   The connection allows the fire department to supply additional water and / or pressure to the building sprinkler system.  

 

 

 

Smoke plume

 

Smoke on the horizon

 

The smoke plume from a distant fire spreads across the horizon.

For the stereogrammers, the scene is presented as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.

 

Smoke on the horizon (in 3d)

 

The warehouse fire that produced that smoke plume was located approximately 18 miles (29 km) from where these photographs were made.  The smoke plume, carried by the prevailing wind, is about 9 miles (14.5 km) long. The top of the plume is at about 2000 feet (600 m).

 

 

Smoke gets in your sun

Five minutes before sun hide

Smoke from the forest fires twenty six hundred miles away reaches our shores.  Five minutes later, the pall in the western sky hid the setting sun.  

Same as it never was

Painted wall

Some paint and a broom, and the scorched wall from the dumpster fire is but a memory.  The painters did an excellent job of matching the original paint.

Aftermath 

A dumpster fire behind the loading dock leaves a reminder of itself on the building's wall.
