No I didn't take it....

It is a real fire that occurred in Auckland earlier this evening.

Don't think there will be much of a fire sale at Mitre 10 after this one.

It started as only a small burnout, but quickly got out of control.

Also a Mondeo wagon...

That's why you NEVER pull the propane tanks by the nozzle...

I wish they brought the Mondeo wagon to Australia. We don't have that OR a Focus Wagon. Pretty poor IMO.

Nice photo though. ;)

Shame Mitre 10 stores are franchised, so someone's livelihood is going up in flames right there. Sure insurance will pay out, but insurance won't cover blood sweat and tears unfortunately.
