Sounds like some insurance fraud to me🤔

[BernieUSMC]

I loathe modern day reporters. "It still smells like smoke here" Really? A 500, 000 building burned down and it still smells? Thanks for the update

[timwildey]

I can imagine there are interior security cameras that can tell a story.

[mtnride]

There was a fire at a huge Amazon building in San Bernardino CA, it ripped from end to end never heard the cause the place was fully sprinklered and had an alarm system. Really weird.

[rchighfield]

Listen to the radio communications it won’t tell how it started, it’ll sure tell them for sure why it spread so fast!

[DashPar]

One would think a modern building with fire sprinklers would not burn that far?

[robertwalton]

Same old story since the invention of fire sprinklers. Don't shut off till you have gone to the seat of the fire and know its OUT. You can un-wet almost anything, you can't un-burn anything.

[weston]

Walmart will profit off of this too
Plus all there Chinese crap just burned up, ,, Big deal

[shadow.banned]

What's the insurance payout on something like this?

[kevinthomas]

It could be as simple as a leaking pallet of boiled linseed oil put in the rack over a pallet of cotton towels.

[stantschoepe]

There's no footage from security cameras Oooorrrr an interview with

[jonathantaylor]

That building probably housed pallets and pallets of items with lithium-ion batteries. There’s really no putting out a LI fueled fire.

[chrisbooge]

Why is the atf involved in the investigation? Was a cigarette a bottle of spirits or a firearm involved in starting the fire? And even if one of those was used my question stands why is the atf involved.

[miniaturefarmer]

ATF was there just to make sure there were no dogs left to shoot.

[tommays]

Walmart has world class video systems they know we’re it started

[dc-wpoc]

Not one reporter asks about the fire suppression system.

[denishealy]

Heavy Smoke activated Skylights would have saved the fire from spreading. FDNY Knows Better.

[eyebidder]

that's a really HOT topic in the employee lounge!

[Joelittle_]

What could go wrong with a warehouse full of Chineseium.

[philipthomas]

Managers must have been smoking the hoopla pipe up stairs and forgot to put it out.
