Actually it's not insured and at current time noone legally owns it. The bank gave it up and the city is supposed to take possession in a year or so. TimminsChris is in front of the store right now taking pictures. I'll post more in a bit.

I hope that no one gets hurt fighting the fire!! I will be really different if at next years convention we don't get to drive by amd see the Maple Leaf! It was cool to drive by it even if it was in disrepair! Really sad!

Cheer up people!! I'm right here the fire seems to be small and towards the back. There are 3 fire engines here, rescue and an ambulance. TimminsChris is sneaking up the alley to get better pictures.
I'm hoping to post in a few minutes. I'll tell you all more as I find out more.

I just got back from the scene... no smoke visible from the front. I have my scanner on at home and they have 4 teams on the inside performing a search and fighting the fire.
There is no hydro or gas going into the building... so it rules out electrical as a cause for the fire. I suspect it's some kids up to no good. We've had a few arson fires lately.
More to come, i'm sure....

Here is a link to 3 avi files in their raw format. Straight from the camera. If you have a highspeed connection just click on them or you can right click "SAVE TARGET AS" and keep them. the link will only be up for 24 hours as I am sure the bandwidth will kill me.
