Default Smoke down in South Philly?

I'm at work in Center City and was looking out my window when a huge plume of smoke arose out of South Philly--then the sirens started. Anybody know what happened?

No idea - but you've made me curious as I live "down south".

A good site to check: http://www.phillyfirenews.com/incidents.aspx?s=PA

But they had nothing posted that could be it. If you find out, please let us know.

I saw it as well. West of Broad Street, but not by much. Only lasted about 5 minutes though, but it was very heavy.
