House Fire

I forgot to mention that I witnessed a house which had caught on fire Saturday.  We were on our way to Lowes to pick up a few things when I noticed some strange dark "clouds" in the sky which didn't look like the other ones.  Looked more like smoke than a cloud. When we went to investigate, we found it was an old abandoned house which was burning.  The fire department had several trucks around the periphery and they appeared to be pretty much just letting the house burn on its own.  I doubt there was much left that anyone could salvage in that old house.  They were predominantly keeping the fire from spreading to trees and other structures.
