Yep - that's smoke coming from the roof of this prominent east side landmark that is only a few blocks from Mt. Washington Elementary School. Depending on your vantage point when this fire happened it is possible to have observed it from numerous neighborhoods in Ohio and Kentucky.

Workers were welding inside the tower and caught insulation on fire. No injuries to civilians or fire fighters were observed.
