The OIC just informed me (Wed. just past noon) that Williamson Street -- between Baldwin and Dickinson -- is blocked off and closed due to some type of structure fire in the 1300 block of Willy.

... also there is a rollover crash at Mineral Point and Orchard that may be causing some delays!

Anyone have details?

I was caught on Willy street

I was caught on Willy street right as the fire trucks started rolling up. From my vantage point, it looks as though it was a house fire right near the Willy St. / Baldwin St. intersection. I couldn't see any flames and it wasn't like thick black smoke or anything... it was just white almost steam like smoke.

No clue about Mineral Pt. however.

Thanks

Thanks for the update. That is the block of Lazy Jane's, Bab's, and the Crystal, so I was curious of one of those landmarks had caught on fire.

Looks like the residents in that apartment made it out safely.
