Momentarily, for the reason of there not being a smiley, I thought you were serious

I live about 1/2 mile away from where the fire is on the go.

There was what must've been an explosion at about 13:00, There was a bit of a bang and I just thought it was the new neighbours moving in upstairs I went outside to get something from the garage and noticed the Police helicopter flying about, I looked up at the helicopter and noticed this.
