dart string course touching keystones of ground-floor entrances;

slightly-projecting entrance bays flanking centre: original sliding

influenced by the contemporary work of the London County Council.

There was a juddering rumble and the earth yawned. Flames shot high into air and some primal deity of flame and forge and transformation took shape in the white hot heart of the fire...well, ok, actually, this was the bonfire at the East Coast reception for a West Coast wedding, back in the hills of Virginia.
The Milpitas Fire Department responded to a structure fire saturday, believed to have ignited at the rear of the house. It is believed the residents were coooking something outside, and the fire was fueled by grease and propane.
