3 Alarm Griswold's Office Supply Fire Aftermath - Olympia WA

July 31, 2004. I missed the best part of this fire, but the aftermath was ugly and messy enough. This business was in downtown Olympia, and things were a little interesting when the power was cut. It had to be shutoff in a two block circle around the fire building. No injuries ands I believe the cause was accidental.

i think "3 alarm" means three different departments were called. the amount of water used was incredible, and yet there was still smoke in flames (i think...).  nice video Matthew!
