Just earlier this evening, a fire broke out near where I live. I was taking out the recycling, when I noticed a huge plume of glowing flames behind the houses in front of my family's home, and fire truck sirens going off nearby. At first I thought another house had caught fire. I ran out to get a closer look I found that it was a shack in a nearby field that had caught fire and not someone's house. Why this shack was burning, I don't know yet. But it was a pretty shocking thing to see!

I have a video of it up on You Tube (warning, 16 minutes long) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8uMgKSJ2ec Other people that were there might post their own videos and photos online too.
