Fire at the Pyromaniac’s

1 comment

THE APTLY-NAMED PYROMANIACS FIREWORKS SHOP went up in flames this morning (Wednesday).  The Fort Wayne, Indiana, business was fully stocked for the upcoming New Year’s celebrations when the alarm came in at 10 am.  The store wasn’t open yet and there was nobody in the shop when the fire started.

The Fort Wayne FD responded with about 45 firefighters and elected to stay outside and protect exposures as a constant stream of small explosions took place with the occasional occurence of a sky rocket sailing out of the building (see video below).

Fort Wayne Fire Chief Pete Kelly told reporters that the fireworks are the reason it took three hours to get the fire under control.  “It was one of those where we couldn’t really get inside,” he said.

WANE-TV has good coverage of the afternoon display in suburban Waynedale:

No injuries were reported and Chief Kelly said that it could take several days to determine the cause of the fire.

The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel has the STORY.

    A blonde lady was driving along the highway when a blonde police officer pulled her over for speeding.

    Officer: May i see your licence?

    Lady: what does it look like?

    Officer: its a rectangular thing with a photo of you on it.

    The lady looks through her bag and pulls out her compact mirror and hands it to the officer.

    The officer opens it up and says 'if you had told me you were a police officer I wouldn't have pulled you over.'

    regards
    Bowe
