Watching this on BBC news feed. Very sad

We are quickly losing everything BTTF related! So sad. I always wanted to see the courthouse square.

Sounds like the clock tower is still standing,

It was on the local news all morning. Apparently there were water pressure issues in flighting the fire, so crews just hooked their hoses into the lakes and water tanks throughout the studio. Talk about problem solving! There were also air quality concerns because of of the buildings that burned is a video storage site, and all of the burning plastic was creating toxic fumes. I guess it wasn't as bad as it initailly sounded, because I don't think an air quality alert was issued, and people that live nearby were simply told to shut their windows. The good news is that no one has been injured, and it sound like the park will be operating normally tomorrow.
