I'm sure they'd like to rebuild,and yes, in the same location, what's the holdup?

That's shameful, that's like holdin a gun on somebody and tellin em not to move. That whole mess is just silly if ya ask me.

And what laws would that be, exactly? Name them.

plus the investigation has to be completed before they start the cleanup process

Yeah, it's a due process. It takes time. Seems forever in California.

Thanks, brother! 🙏

Most likely an insurance delay due to the cause of the fire, also it's a crime scene that may not have been released yet.

@@johncford3957 You may be correct about the insurance, but Home Depot is a big rich company that can handle the cost of reopening the store while dealing with the insurance company. Regarding crime scene, it rarely takes more than a few weeks before they release the scene.

Business do just fine here. California has one of the fastest growing economies in the US, and is the 5th largest economy in the world. Stop believing the right-wing lies.

Until an earthquake shakes. @@JWRogersPS

California is roundup for businesses😂

@@chris76-01 The business growth rate in California is higher than the national average. Stop listening to right-wing lies about California.

That is why California has the largest economy in the US and would be the Worlds fifth largest economy if it were its own country. But you can't fix stupid and you are stupid.

It probably did, but with the oils and other products in there wouldn't have done any good

YES! 99% of major stores are required to have fire sprinkler systems. unless someone had turned it off!

I guarantee it did but it probably did not contain it properly.

It mysteriously malfunctioned like they always do when a real fire happens 😂

​@coryhoover01 so why install them in the first place?

Thanks! I was hoping to add a little context to make the video more engaging and relevant. 🤠👍

Its going to be turned into apartments, waggly is not reopening and I believe at some point harbor freight is going to be relocated

The Maui fires was in around July 2023.

None of the things you mentioned would start a plasma fire though, which is what this looks like

Did you watch him do it?

Yep, you don't tear down a thing till insurance company settles. This may sit like this for YEARS because since it was arson, insurance company probably won't pay. I believe they have video of it starting and if none of the employees noticed the fire or made no attempt to put it out, that will be the reason insurance company won't pay. Happens ALL the time with fires that involve businesses.

Sad part is if someone tried putting it out and got hurt they wouldn't cover that either. Insurance company's are a racket and never want to pay

Most likely

They finally began demolition.

Probably fire retardent...lol

all melted under the severe heat. had little to no affect on it

I work at home depot tho I did not work at this one I do work with many who did work at that store they've all said the same thing, fire suppression system did not go off at all

It never seems to work when it's needed the most. It's just there for decoration and to keep the sprinkler company in Business 😊

I worked Home Depot in NY on closing shifts…..1st… an accelerant was used, as the materials in that area don’t light with in minutes. 2nd… there is usually a Home Depot rep/special services rep would of spot it immediately & the SUPPRESSION SYSTEM was FAULTY, as the rest of the building would of been soaked and not burned as such as the ignited area!

A properly functioning automatic fire sprinkler system would’ve stopped this fire before it got going. According to one of the news stories on this incident, there was a record of fire code violations at this location. According to NFPA 25, a fire sprinkler system should be inspected and water flowed quarterly. One of the most common things that causes a fire sprinkler systems to fail is a shut valve. The valves on site should be electronically supervised, but the alarm system must also be functioning. In my 20+ year career in fire protection, I once inspected a building that had the fire main shut off by the city. When I contacted them they swore up and down that the problem was on the property. I saw a city works truck stop on the street out front and turn on the valve, then miraculously the water came back on. After questioning the occupants of the building, they said that the city works came by a few weeks earlier and warned them that the culinary water world be turned off for a few hours. They said that the water came back on and they didn’t really worry about anything else, except that the city works forgot to turn the fire main back on. That’s why inspections are important. I suspect that if Home Depot is found negligent for not doing their due diligence, they’ll be on the hook for this loss. They’re just lucky that nobody was seriously hurt or killed or they’d be on the hook for a possible injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

Nobody wants to clean up that mess😂

Apparently not...🤷‍♂️

I do not know

Blue states have much stronger economies than red states - better educated populations with more income. California has the 5th largest economy in the entire world.

​@@JWRogersPSAnd the worst laws, particularly concerning crime and criminal punishment.

@@scanman975 Not true at all. More right-wing lies.

14-60 or life in prison 7 counts of arson

In California the way they do things he will get a slap on the wrist and be declared a victim.

@@Reaglesracing44_ 14-60 days, it is California.

Gets promoted to city fire Marshall 😂

@@chris76-01 our system performed as normal in this incident 😆🤣 it was our new bluetooth feature

No

obviously no 😭

🤘🤣

I never said it was the biggest...🤷‍♂️

Thank the lib voters.

🤘🤣. I can't believe that nothing has been done, either. That property has great location, and is worth millions. Yet, it's just sitting there looking unsightly. I wonder how many toxic chemicals leached into the soil of the surrounding neighborhood during these recent rain storms. All which could have been prevented had they cleaned it up during the last 9 months of dry weather...🤷‍♂️ so many people dropping so many balls...😬
