Fire Factory
Daniel and I went for a drive south west of Brisbane doing some sort of research for an assignment. Any way we stumbled across a massive abandoned warehouse. So thought we would have a look around . In no time at all one of the care takers drove over to us and asked us what we where doing. This guy was covered in tats missing teeth and we were expecting some abusive treatment but he was actually quite nice and told us the story of what had happened to this place. He said" this use to be a four story building but there was a fire here years ago and the bottom leavel is the only thing reaminig," the place was used to store toilet paper, mattress and wooden furniture". He said it was one of the biggest fire's that Brisbane has ever had. Also the place as constructed with a lot of asbestos and was closed off for a couple of years. So if this fume was to be breathed in there is a high chance of getting cancer. Its still not know today how the fire started.
The place just looks like a scrap yard now with old American car's shipping containers shit everywhere really. So here are some photos trying to avoid all the crap but still how you the end result of this place before the Brisbane City Council tears it down and prepare for another busy-way or train station.
And the guy with the tats and missing teeth , his name was Fudge.
