2. translation of the last sentence in your link...
"Joe Blubaugh, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the agency was monitoring the fire."


translation:
"We're just watchin the sucker burn, cause their ain't a damn thing we can do about it anyway."


Our 'barn' (really a quonset hut used as a shop, no critters) caught fire when I was a kid. My most vivid memory of it is hearing the 50 gallon drums explode and watching the debris fly. The firefighters kicked back and watched with us, they were volunteers and this was far above their skill to fight. No other buildings were in danger then though, I can't imagine something 5X as large in the middle of a city. :scared:
