History going up in flames.
May. 6th, 2008 08:35 pm As of right now a historic building in age and beauty is going up in flames in a 3-alarm fire, 4-Alarm fire. At a college campus no less. My town is very much a home to many colleges and Universities. And the main building of the Our Lady of the Lake University that is over 100 years old is going up in flames. Its heart breaking. There are no sprinklers, no fire water mains due to its age. It was built in by artisans in 1895. As if the age of the building wasn't enough we are having strong winds blowing constantly between 15-20 miles per hour. The school is in the heart of my city, San Antonio, and also in the heart of the west side.
The call that there was a fire came in around 7:30.
At least 28, and as many as 38, fire units were called out onto the scene.
