Performance RC Hobby Shop Fire Burns to the Ground

Video of the Performance RC Hobbies fire on Saturday night, November 20th, 2010 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Thankfully nobody was injured. Several local business including Performance RC Hobbies, Motion Sports, and Accent Floors were a complete loss.
We had to move to the other side of the building as the High voltage supply power lines that supplied most of the city were only 20ft above the blaze. (also right above us during the first few minutes of the video) The power company was preparing bystanders for the 2" think aluminum power lines to melt.
In all, it took 3 separate fire departments to put out the blaze. An investigation as to what started the fire is ongoing.
