this was directly across the street from my office. when i was walking out, it looked pretty well managed; a bunch of firefighters were up on the roof. our entire office smelled like a camp fire. Coach has an office on the ground floor, so hopefully it doesn't disrupt the vital flow of leather business card holders.

That was only a couple of blocks from our offices - we saw the frenzy as we were leaving. Now the news is reporting that the a lit cigarette is suspected.

That's the building that the Coach design and corporate offices are in. Word is that everyone was evacuated safely and the flames never left the roof.

Um, the building was, at best, 130-140 feet into the air (12-13 stories), so there was NO WAY the flames were shooting "several hundred feet in the air." Give me a break.

That fire was pretty much across the street from my office. It was a scary scene when I left work today. Huge orange flames, firefighters on the roof.

Saw this from my office building. Looked pretty serious, but they managed to get it under control pretty quick.
