A fire rages through a barn at the foot of Christmas Hill.

After hearing a police motorcycle tear up Rainbow Street like a bat out of hell, it was plain as day.

Dark smoke soaring out of a barn, set to be removed to allow for condo development, on fire with such fury, you could hear the crackling some 500 feet away, and the smoke could be seen throughout the city.

There were workers inside the barn when the fire started, but they all got out okay. *whew!*
