One things for certain about this fire. It's not a good idea to rip up a major roadway and leave it unusable for months. Had Cookman Avenue been passable the Fire Department would have been able to get some water on the rear of the building.
One thing that does not come out in most of the photos is that water from the ladder truck that was on the eastern side of the building rarely reached the fire. The water was shooting against the wind and even with all the skill the firefighters had and with all the water pressure they had they could just not battle Mother Nature. ~joe Yahoo!
