i watched part of news conference, they said the sprinkler system was working, fire load just over whelmed the system until failure.

also from news conference, 2 6000gal water tenders from Forest Service who was also on scene and 12 helo water drops from USFS chopper to help contain.

that’s a lot of area to cover from the outside, even with aerial towers, you aren’t likely getting to the middle, that (was) a big tall building, wondering what sort of automation was in there,

many of the facilities I frequent have water tanks onsite for fire suppression, given the size of the buildings I’ve often wondered if the tanks were really large enough, probably in most cases yes…. This time……

I read it, I understand it about the same....like nearly zero. All I know is a whole bunch of folk got raises and free money in the recent. The reaction...everything cost more to produce. Profits must not suffer so prices go up accordingly.

To little diversity, to much dependence on big companies and foreign products. And a whole lotta government cheese alongside its own theft.....

I think we are eventually screwed. The match has been lit, we are just seeing some gas being applied.
