Fire at the Firehouse!

Well, fire near the firehouse. A car parked atop the U and 16th police station burst into flames this afternoon and I happened to be nearby to grab some photos. This was really only notable for the number of people gathered on the street to watch it (people always gather around fires) and the fact that the shuttered Fire Station next door was useful only as a place for more people to hang out and watch the flames.

More (poorly taken) shots beneath the fold.

In come the Firemen
