Edit: Certainly this will be remembered as one of the most dramatic fires in Wise County history, but what are the others? I remember the "old" Bridgeport High School gym (which really wasn't being used) burning down in the 1970s. And the burning of Grandy's in Decatur in the 1990s has to be in the top five.
But what are some others? I'll list them below if there are any vote-getters.
- Condo fire in Runaway Bay - over 20 units destroyed (early 2000s)
- Candle Factory fire in Decatur (2004?)
- Twin Hills Restaurant
- Long Oil in Decatur circa 1988. (I have no memory of this one.)
- Decatur Holiday Inn as it was nearing completion (don't remember this either.)
- The Taj Mahal looking building north of Decatur. (1980s?)
- Terrell's restaurant in Decatur (late 1970s)
- Gas well fire in northern Wise County - burned like a beacon for weeks (1993)
