One of my students first spotted smoke as it obscured his view of the large cranes and then noticed the fire. We were about to call 911 when a helicopter, presumably from the police department, began to circle overhead and spotlight the site.

I was told it was a dormitory under construction for Georgia State University, but do not know where that information came from.

The fire burned for several hours. It was interesting to watch it move through the site. We were at the Hilton, watching from the 27th floor, and the smell of smoke permeated the hotel through its outward facing elevators. Ick.

I think I like this one better than the clear one.
