That’s what it looks like, it’s huge. I came to the stop sign and I seen it and I was like, whoa! Because this ain’t something you see every day. Yeah, you just gotta see it.” The cause of the fire is under investigation by the STFD fire marshal. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
