The combination of heat and oxygen applied to a combustible material. :D

Are you getting good night shots of it?

OKay the fire spread to few more Apartments, and For some reason ...its not contained ..the speculation that i am hearing says its some sort of chemical fire ...they had it in control ...now the way it looks ..its kind of outrageous and they sealed off the whole area and vacating people from the building which is 20 or more stories ....

Fire that big in one unit seems a bit strange, meth/drug lab?

Was listening to the live feed for the Toronto EMS when i heard about it on the news.

Just started listening again, they're still there of course.

Toronto police radio is digitally encrypted, so can't listen to them. YRP police and EMS is there. OPP too. Listened to OPP one night, man, I really don't envy their job, the crap that they have to put up with on a regular basis.
