Whole Foods fire

Dallas Fire-rescue received a call this afternoon at 3:23 that the Whole Foods Market under construction in the neighborhood had caught fire.

Jason Evans, spokesman for the fire department, said the incident was declared "tapped out" at 3:36. Although he had few details, a passerby likely saw smoke from a wielder's torch or some smoldering debris on the roof and called the department, he said.End of story

Yeah - that's exactly what had to have happened. My son, his friend and I were driving out of our neighborhood - La Vista/Country Club and saw a lot of black smoke in the sky - pulled up to the light at Abrams and Gaston - and all the smoke was gone and sirens were coming. When we drove past it - it smelled like a bbq - must have been like a quick "flash fire"? It was a lot of smoke - but quickly dissipated by the time any firemen showed up....
