Heard about this on the news; was mortified when they said it went to 3 alarms, afraid planes might have been damaged, especially fearful for Bo Boggs; all OK, though.
That's what one gets for taking up a perfectly-good hangar for non-aviation use!

The hangar was used by a landscaping company.
A three-alarm blaze destroyed a hangar at a private airport in northwestern Collin County Friday morning.
McKinney fire officials said the blaze began shortly before 5 a.m. at the Aero Country airport in the 10000 block of Vought Lane, just south of Highway 380.
Investigators determined two employees of a landscape company that rents the hangar were welding and spilled some gasoline, and a spark ignited the vapors.
No one was injured in the fire, but the hangar's roof collapsed. No planes were housed in the building, officials said.
A damage estimate has not been determined.
