Default Where was the fire?
Big plume of smoke this morning, looked like it was maybe south of McClure. Construction waste or something else?

I saw the column too. Thinking it was in the same area where they've been burning brush piles off and on during the clearing near Eastport..

(WFLA) — A warehouse at a federal correctional facility in Florida has caught fire, according to reports.

A large warehouse at FCI Coleman Low has become fully engulfed in flames. Video from a news helicopter showed that the warehouse was completely destroyed while firefighters tried to put out the fire.

It was in the area of the prison. I saw three small vehicles responding, then 4 minutes later the larger rigs shot down 501.
