Brick buildings tend to turn into huge ovens when a fire makes enough headway. Same with places that have metal roofs. Trap heat. The key to getting a fire out, is to remove the hot gas, before it self vents and takes the whole damn place. Unfortunately, you can't predict fire, and it often does it on its-own.
I sat back and realized how connected we Rhode Islanders are with you.Right down to the architecture.Even the name Avondale reminded me how short a ride it is to Sylacauga.My heart is with you.
Please be prepared for this.See Alice Mills Woonsocket RI just 11 short days before, my friends.
I watched it burn from my front porch... Such a shame...

This is the biggest fire I ever worked-It took 3 days to fully put it out. Fortunately the mill had been closed and no one was hurt.
