Sunday afternoon, black smoke colored the skyline over Peace Avenue.
A few moments later, the smoke darkened.
Our building is the green peak-roofed one on the right in the foreground.
But fortunately, the fire was further down the street.
It turned out to be coming from the historic State Department Store, opened in 1924!
Thank God about 30 minutes later, smoke began to dissipate.
Police and fire crews were putting our the final smolders.
It was the 6th floor of tourist souvenirs that burned.
No word yet on what caused the fire, or whether fatalities occurred.
