Not much, but I'll take it!

Yeah, it's not much. A pig barn down the road from me caught fire as I was on my way home from work. Pulled up just behind the fire department. 3 alarm blaze. 700 pigs in the barn, 125 saved. Posted my pictures on facebook, nothing really special as I was staying out of the way and it was quite smoky. This morning a friend of mine asked to use some of my pictures for his work's website. Well he works for the local radio station, which also is a main news website. He picked the pictures (definitely not the best ones) and posted them. No credit or anything, but they are my pictures up there for the public

Congrats on the pics!

Serious question- And I want to make it clear that I feel bad for the farmer and loss of animals - DID it smell like a giant BBQ??

Hehehe... that's a constant joke around here, every time a pig barn burns. When I first got there, which was just behind the fire department, it did kinda smell like a BBQ. Mostly that smell you get when the BBQ is just heating up. As soon as the straw/manure on the floor started burning, its very recognizable smell took over. I, at least, did not have a great desire to eat roast pork at the time.

heard about that on the news :S It sucks having to clean up after a pig barn fire.
