The firefighters had to use the 110 as a staging ground to fight it.

Either those are the most unobservant firefighters ever or vastly more likely this is arson and enough accelerant was used to make your average pyro blush.

Yesterday, I swear I was at my house watching movies.  I never bought any paint supplies that have Trychtichlorate, although the local fire department did give me some.

Youd think, but it might not be. If its just wood frame without concrete it could go quick. (Though im no firefighter)

I was on a fire a few years back, on a night it was raining, that looked like a volcanoe erupted. Literally blew the house and yard into a fireball, flames at least 100 feet on the air. The homeowner was a hoarder, and the layout of the home i guess funneled it to where it got within minutes.

Those pictures are nuts though

So what was the deal with this?  Arson? 

[Tank]

no answer on arson yet. they've got all kinds of investigators taking a look at it, even some feds.

 

 

you're not worried about what they might find, are you geoff?
