I talked with Marshall Township Historian Dorothy McConnell, a little while ago, and she said that she did not recall any disaster in Deansboro that would equal the effects of this fire.

I don't ever try to get closer than anyone else, and - in this case - followed the Fire Police's instructions to turn off of 315 onto California Road.
There were quite a few vehicles pulled over on the sides of the road and clusters of onlookers stood and stared at the dense cloud of blackish smoke.
It appeared that an aerial ladder was being used to flood the fire from above.
There must have been over a dozen tankers taking turns filling up at the bridges on 315 and California Road. Spectator traffic on California was heavier than it should have been and I got out of the way as fast as I could!
