Google Parking Lot Fire

Yesterday, Google had the fire department stop by for a visit. They had a fire in their parking lot. Steve Grove from Google posted this awesome picture on Google+. He explained he thinks someone "threw a cigarette in the garbage bin" and it caused the bin to light up.

So I guess they called the local fire department who came to take care of it.

Too bad GoogleBot couldn't deal with it directly.
