Mike, it burned for 3 or 4 days. There were many, many large earth moving equipment tires in the building since that was his specialty. Also, because of many barrels of chemicals stored inside and the close proximity of a creek that feeds the Great Miami River, the fire department and EPA decided it was safer to let everything go into the air rather than let water run off from the hoses mixed with chemicals contaminate the creek.
