No I didn't take it....

It is a real fire that occurred in Auckland earlier this evening.

Don't think there will be much of a fire sale at Mitre 10 after this one.

It started as only a small burnout, but quickly got out of control.

That's why you NEVER pull the propane tanks by the nozzle...

Shame Mitre 10 stores are franchised, so someone's livelihood is going up in flames right there. Sure insurance will pay out, but insurance won't cover blood sweat and tears unfortunately.
