Lumbermans Stock Yard Burns!

I was driving up Hwy 212 towards I205, when I happened to notice smoke in the air and also saw flames...I followed it and saw that Lumbermans lumber yard was on fire. I just happened to have my camera with me, so I stopped and got several photos of the fire. I understand, from what I heard other people say, that this fire was started from an Electrical Spark from a Power line...I'm not sure if this is true or not.

My boyfriend saw the fire on his way back from Fred Myers and came to get me. We realized it was lumbermans where he has just worked 3 months earlier.

While taking photos of this fire, I heard several people around me say it was the lumberyard owned by Lumbermans (it was directly behind Lumbermans) so, that is why I listed this as Lumbermans Stockyard fire. It was the International Wood Products.
