early morning fire

Another sighting on the bird count ... though not in the area assigned to me. This fire was in my neighbourhood, and knocked the power out around 3:30 in the morning. The chirping smoke detector and my anxious cat woke me up, I put my phone on battery saving mode as it hadn't charged fully. The phone "automatically silenced" my alarm, so the count was a bit later than planned1 The fire was in an unused former commercial building.
