My girlfriend and I were cruising from my dads house. We spotted smoke on main street in amherst, and decided to do some investigating. I thought it was something on elmwood on fire, but its way out. Its a warehouse way down on military. We ended up going behind the ghetto tops on grant and amherst, and walking through an abandoned mini golf course to get a good vantage point. There was probably 100 people there just climbing the hill there to get a good look. ---

Saw it from Williamsville, then heard about it on the radio. A warehouse for Buffalo Business Interiors and some Latino food company, if I recall correctly. For all I know, that Buffalo News link tells what I just said. 🙂 Or this: [http://www.wben.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=07463](http://www.wben.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=07463) > [@WBEN](#): > > Fire In North Buffalo > Sunday, May 13, 2007 08:09 PM - WBEN Newsroom > > Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - Buffalo firefighters are on the scene of a large warehouse fire in north Buffalo. > > The fire broke out some time before 8pm Sunday at a building at 111 Tonawanda Street. > > Serveral fire companies are currently on the scene. > > The fire created a large, thick black cloud of smoke, which could be seen from miles away. ---

I saw it from op. I was heading to buffalo, and it turned out to be right along the 198 where I had to go. Mad firetrucks and police cars. ---

[quote=“Carnut,post:32,topic:29245"”] from what I was told there was acetylene, propane and heavy plastics and a big explosion on tonwanda street [/quote] Yep, I saw the chemical explosion as I drove up. Could have a perfect view from the 198 of it, traffic was insanity. Just as we started driving up (we came down military) we hit military and amherst which was the only city block between the building and us we saw this massive fireball go up I am not sure how high it went but it was towering. We parked and walked up to check it out but the view from that side sucked. Ended up driving around to the 198 and could see it very well, and could see what room had exploded, it was a smaller part of the building my guess is it is where the gasses were stored because it was blown the fuck up… All in all, was totally not worth the traffic though lol Oh and on the way into work this morning I drove past it on the 198 - they are still spraying it down ---
