WHen you think about what is contained in a Home Depot; it's impossible to put out if a fire takes hold. Ailes full of flammable paints and liquids, other aisles full of wood and other construction materials, tons of rechargeable batteries for electric tools. And that does not cover what is in the 'back' storage. Even with amazing fire suppression, you would wish you could teleport a whole lake into the building. Past a certain heat level, even water has little effect. You can only hope to contain the fire, even that is hard work.

A similar thing happened at the Meijer store I used to work at. 3 teenage boys set 2 fires in the towels and bedding section and had even tried to build a couple of explosive devices with aerosol cans. They too were trying to create a diversion so they could steal expensive stuff. All 3 of them were cleanly shown on the security cameras and the police posted the pictures on their Facebook page. They got a lot of calls from people who knew them and they were arrested a few hours later. We were closed for at least a day while they got all the damaged items and equipment removed and aired out all the smoke. It caused several thousands of dollars in damage and we also lost a huge amount of sales because it was 4th of July weekend and we were closed during what would have been our busiest times.

I used to work for Lowes and learned this Fun fact: Lowes and Home Depot are both store that are most dangerous to be in. Not due to crime, or murder, but due to the fact there sprinkler systems are just a formality for code enforcement and basically will not do anything when the store is on fire. Due to the large amounts of Lumber, house goods, carpets and chemicals both stores contain, the entire store will be up in flames and beyond saving within 30secs of the initial fire starting. it is also why you will see the fire departments only trying to stop the spread of the fire and put the fire out completely.

I’d be very surprised if they allowed the construction of this store without one. With a properly functioning fire sprinkler system this store would’ve reopened in the next couple of days instead of burning to the ground.

LUMBER I’m going to add my two cents about building homes nowadays. As I write this the year is 2024. Wood / lumber for homemaking should be things of the past. We should not be making homes out of wood anymore. I know people who waste $200,000 or more building a brand new home and made out of damn wood only to have it destroyed a year later by a tornado. I used to live in Puerto Rico for 20 years and all the homes are made out of concrete from top to bottom, no lumber / wood needed whatsoever. There are so many disadvantages to making a Home out of wood versus concrete and here is my list. With a wooden home you will need a lot of insulation. With the concrete home you don’t. With a wooden home you will need to worry about termites if it’s not treated. With a concrete home you don’t. With a wooden home you have to be aware of short circuits that cause a fire that can burn the house down. With a concrete home you don’t. With a wooden home you have to worry about tornadoes and hurricanes yanking off the ceiling and what not. With the concrete home you don’t. There are so many disadvantages for making a home out of wood / lumber that I cannot see why people don’t make homes nowadays out of concrete which has many advantages over a wooden home and not to mention way safer. Oh, and it’s not that expensive either to make a home out of concrete. So stop using wood / lumber like we are in the 1800s and start making homes out of concrete for a safer family environment. Thanks and have a good day.

@GalaxyFur 4 ай бұрын

I can think of many reasons not to use concrete. It's very expensive and doesn't look nearly as good. Many contractors don't have the resources to deal with it. Concrete also develops large issues in colder climates, where the constant thawing and heating can destroy it. Not to mention, house fires and everything in them tend to burn so hot that the fires can ruin the concrete, and you're left with a gutted shell.(Without a roof usually) The Home Depot is all concrete and steel. As you can see, it burned down just like a wooden house. Tornadoes destroy concrete and brick homes as well. They literally take out massive schools and warehouses made of concrete and brick-like they are nothing. An EF3 did short work of a 150-foot tall steel multi-leg supported water tower and folded it like a deck of cards just two years ago in a town.

@Bassotronics 4 ай бұрын

@@GalaxyFur On a side note, all the fires I’ve seen with a concrete home left the interior of the home burnt but the cinder blocks were ok. I’ve known many people who have repatched and painted a concrete home again and is good as new. If it were a lumber home, it would have been a total loss. In Puerto Rico as an example, many of those home have survived numerous hurricanes and still standing strong. You ain’t gonna see that happen with a lumber home. You can find a decent concrete home for about $80,000 whereas in the U.S. the same home out of lumber wood cost upwards of $100,000 and is a ticking time bomb. In all fairness and what I’ve seen personally I still prefer a properly built concrete home over a lumber home any day!

@Bassotronics You can't compare Puerto Rico, which is simply a territory versus an actual State. There are building code standards in the states that are required, and different governing bodies. Concrete homes are much more expensive than wooden homes. Also, wooden houses in the States survive all the time against Hurricanes. And generally, the insurance companies will have your house bulldozed if it is gutted by a fire and rebuilt from scratch since it's cheaper to do it that way. And most homes in my area range between $200,000 up to $1 million plus+. Concrete would make those prices much higher.

@@GalaxyFur A lumber home has survived hurricanes and tornadoes?… 😂🤣 All the news video reports state otherwise bro! All the concrete homes in Puerto Rico = Intact! And building a concrete home is cheaper than a lumber home. It’s that the government wants to dig the prices up our ass just because of the benefits a concrete home has Vs a lumber home. In fact, I can hire a contractor from Puerto Rico build me a nice comfy concrete home here in the states and it will be much cheaper than a stupid lumber home. Fact! But sadly, like I said, the government wants to take away our money for having such benefits.

I feel for the employees. I wonder how many jobs were lost there.

I don’t know how typical this is, (probably most fires? Rarer than I think? Feel free to correct me) but that smoke cloud grew to be MASSIVE; perceptibly from the mountains. Hope everyone was alright. Beautiful teamwork and coordination going in from those firefighters as always. ❤

I was eating dinner with family at “The Burger Pit” for my nephews birthday. We saw the smoke! Then the fire trucks going down Blossom Hill Rd. That was a crazy day! My buddy live directly behind the back wall! You should have seen all the debris in his yard that fell from the sky onto his house, car and yard!
