I drove by about 8:15 this morning, when it seemed to be pretty involved, although all that could be seen was smoke, not flames. There were four or five fire trucks on Dekalb Industrial, but they appeared to be more for backup than anything else. The big show was in the vacant lot that was formerly Shoney’s, and looked like the entire Dekalb County fire department was in attendance. Water was being shot at the fire, and the plum of smoke was amazing to behold. About a half hour later, I drove 285-S and the smoke had drifted fairly heavily across it at the point that 78 goes underneath. Traffic was not a problem in any location.

I didn’t see it, but I’m glad to know the reason for the helecopter hovering near my house at 6:30 this morning.

Just another example of how cigarettes can be deadly!
