Thanks Amy!
Some more info here.
They say - A cigarette left burning in a room full of spray-paint may have sparked a three-alarm blaze that broke out in a social housing facility.

I blogged about this, but I never had the time and energy to sell the photos or post to a site like this. My co-worker called 911 then I went into the alley and took some photos with my Blackberry before the emergancy crews arrived.

I joined and added my photos and the youtube video.
It was definitely a cigarette in a room full of spray paint cans... That was the talk of the alley or the neighborhood.
