Photo of the old Wilkinson's House of Lighting building on fire and fully engulfed in flames.
"Looking out of my living room window, I saw this wall of flame down where the old Wilkinson's House of Lighting
building was located. I snapped this picture with my cellphone. Being handheld and in the dark, the quality didn't
come out very well, but it shows the magnitude of the flames. There were already quite a number of emergency
vehicles on scene and for the next 15 minutes vehicles with sirens kept coming in from all over town."
