Big Fire Burning

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with North Sky Realty LLC 6502410580

I was driving through the North side of Battle Creek about a week ago and saw that the sky not only had a stormy cloud system going on, but there was also a gray smoke cloud as well.  The skies looked quite unusual.  What I learned when I got to where I was going was that there was a very large fire at the Battle Creek recycling center about 2 miles away, and thousands of pounds of paper were burning.  It took them several hours to contain it, but eventually the fire fighters won.  It sure made the skies look interesting for a few hours.

Really cool picture; it looks incredibly angry and foreboding...

Michael - excitement comes in many forms, leaving its impact, even in Battle Creek. And you were on the sport to investigate and report. Thank you for sharing this newsworthy item which may have been ignored or missed by many.

Somehow I don't think that is how they meant to recycle the paper! Neat picture.

Fires look really neat at night when they light up the sky but in fact they are dangerous and destroy property. About a year and a half ago, we had a huge fire at a recycling plant in San Bernardino and it burned for days. People need to be more careful.
