As a storm approached yesterday my dad and I took a drive to look for left over excess (thrown away) insulation at a nearby construction site.

All photos were taken yesterday after noon v (except the last one)

On the way back home I thought about visiting the apartment where the fire occurred and well enough, the remain was still there. I thought they would clean it up.

Way back in February or 5 months ago, this apartment block caught fire and had entirely burned to the ground at 7 pm CST, no one was injured thankfully. The fire happened to occur just down the street from where I live, and then I was able to see the top of the flame from there. I drove to see up close but the entrance there was already closed off. But there was a neighboring walking trail that had a clear view of the garage on the other side. Since then, the ruin was closed by double fencing covered in advertisements. Until now, a large section of the fence had been opened with no "No trespassing" signs anywhere.

Here what I think used to be a Jeep Renegade and other vehicles

It takes awhile for insurance to kick in, so they can do the clean up and rebuild.
