Monday's spectacular fire at a tyre shop in Hamilton could be seen from beyond the city's limits.
Fire crews struggled to tame the Anglesea St blaze, the second at the shop in 24 hours.
Hamiltonians expecting a quiet Labour Day took to the streets and captured some incredible photos, despite warnings to stay away due to asbestos risk.
