I've heard through the grapevine that a warehouse use to store styrafoam products for LifeLike in Baltimore is burning.

And through a Yahoo group
"Further clarification (just back from the scene): This building was the former Baltimore Traction Co. powerhouse and carbarn, at Druid Hill Ave. and Retreat St. built ca. 1891 when the line was still a cable car line but electrified shortly after the building was built. The fire went to five alarms, the building is a total loss, and there were still streetcar overhead power conduits in the building. You have perhaps 24 hours at best before public-safety demolition begins."
