Channel 5 only mentioned the adult theater at this strip mall. The other 9 businesses, meh.

How many strip malls can claim that they actually have a strip club?

The smile on the first interviewee. You can see that she wanted to bail on that business a long time ago but was already over invested. The fire saved her.

The problem with these structures is that they are built rather cheaply and have a common attic space between businesses. Having fire rated shared walls that extend all the way through the attic and through the roof, dividing this attic into seperate spaces might have contained the initial fire enough to prevent such widespread devastation.

That reporter on scene is looking a little sloppy.

10 BUSINESS? someone just did the arson

[coreyfreeman]

Maybe they were losing money constantly after covid, decided to do a 1 day "Fire" sale, collect insurance and go on a nice long vacation.
