Five Alarm Fire in Downtown Raleigh

Occurred: March 16, 2017 / Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

Info from Licensor: "This is a construction site for The Metropolitan apartments going up in flames as seen from the roof of a parking deck two blocks away. Even though the fire was quite some distance from my building, I estimate that the ambient air temperature in front of the camera was over 120 degrees. The 15-story building on the right side of the frame is a mixed use building called the Quorum Center, and it had most of its street facing windows blown out as a result of the fire."
