Subject: Fire at the alley garage near 63rd and Francisco, January 10th, 2016.
Attached are some photos I took of the incident. The whole area was filled with smoke, and you could see flames shooting out from the garage. It was quite an intense scene.

This incident happened rather suddenly, and it was shocking to witness how quickly the fire spread. I was passing by when I noticed the thick plumes of smoke, so I stopped to take these pictures. Thankfully, no one seemed to be injured during the event, but the damage to the property was significant.
The firefighters did a commendable job containing the blaze before it could spread further. It’s always a relief to see professionals step in during such emergencies. I hope the property owner has proper insurance coverage because this looks like it will be costly to repair.
If anyone knows more details about what caused the fire or if there were any updates afterward, feel free to share! These kinds of incidents serve as reminders of how important it is to keep an eye on our surroundings and ensure safety precautions are in place.
Let me know if you need any more information or higher-quality versions of the images. I’ll be happy to help!

Take care everyone, and stay safe out there.
