August 14th, 2008 - Thursday

Thursday morning a Conshohocken apartment building that was being built went up in flames and in doing so, set fire to the condos right next door. It was a massive 8-Alarm Fire that destroyed 3 buildings, injured 2 people and left over 375 people homeless.

Conshohocken is only about 5 miles up the bike path from our house, so on our bike ride Friday morning we passed by the buildings that were still surrounded by firemen, policemen, news media and displaced residents wondering what to do.

This is one of buildings with the least amount of damage. This is someone's home. Too sad :(
