this was done by antifa/blm another success story in silicon valley. when will democrats learn that being soft on crime is worthless and that humans need deterrence?

There were no building nearby. How is it the steel and brass items all melted.

@@maxsmith695 While steel does melt around 1500C, it doesn't need to get anywhere near that hot to start turning soft, in fact, you can still see some of the steel roof support beams twisted throughout the wreckage, if they did fully melt, then they would be nothing more than puddles of metal.

Hi Robyn! Thanks for subbing! We live closer to cottle - near la colina park Vito

was this a DEW fire. Brass and steel fixtures melted like butter.

The roof caved in as soon as the fire started

haz mat companies(Clean Harbors etc) siphoning toxic water runoff you see in pools on the back parking lot

They cannot allow that toxic water into the city sewer system. So they have to pump it into those trucks and remove it/ dispose of it safely.

The reason for the long trench cut in the roof from wait i have read is to stop the fire from advancing under thr roof and giving the fire a place to vent and saving the rest of the building. Which is the better option a roof repair or a total loss?

They have Money, they'll be alright.

trench cut absolutely necessary, obv the fire curtain saved the remaining structure, but valid tactic given the cirmuctances

@@pyr0meter - Yup. I'm not a firefighter (or knowledgable in fire science), but my presumption would have been that the concrete wall [alone] did it's job and would stop the fire from spreading to the other building.

@@tommy6gun2 - Yeah I know. I just think the firewall would do (and did do) it's job. The roof trench cut is just a very expensive precautionary measure. My question is: Is there any analysis or protocol in fire departments/ command staff, before making the decision to actually make the cut? And the answer is probably no (or minimal), as there is not a lot of time to make such a decision. It's probably a protocol that should be more carefully looked at/ analyzed (from many perspectives). Because fire departments are likely routinely and unnecessarily damaging buildings (which they nor the city will have to pay for). Presumably it would be covered by insurance. There was no fuel for the fire beyond the firewall. It would somehow have to make it's way inside. The roof is probably composite tar/ gravel which probably wouldn't catch fire.

Then they underestimated by a factor of 400 to 500.

Did you forget few 00"S in there?

@@dw3403 No...I was making a facetious statement. FD's have no idea how to estimate damage. They are usually comically low.

Can't be. Its much higher.

Maybe $24.3M...

Directed energy devices using invisible beams of energy is my guess.

@@maxsmith695 - HAARP (lol :)

@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO - That is a program, not a device.

The trees did not burn but the steel did. Hmmm.

The SJFD said they got reports from employees that it started in the lumber area (Southwest corner of the store I believe), and that it quickly overwhelmed the fire sprinklers.

@@maxsmith695 - The trees did burn, but obviously they contain water and the fire wasn't directly underneath them. I hear this all the time. But is it a conspiracy of the trees (in general)? This kind of talk/ false presumptions minimizes us legitimate conspiracy theorists (Researchers/ Investigators/ Historians).

@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO 🤝

@@maxsmith695 I see burned trees at 1:01 time . They are crispy.

I don't think there's any brass, and steel did not melt (just sagged/ twisted/ deformed). Fires like this aren't hot enough to melt steel.

Those red trucks/engines around the outside? Nice observational skills

@@pyr0meter hey genius. That’s a ladder truck, not a fire engine, 150 feet from the source of the smoke. No indication they are applying any water to anything smoking.

@@danreich4320 So there are firefighters there then, nice catch. Oh notice the ENGINE with the deck gun flowing water @ 1:33?

@@danreich4320 - There are times when water does nothing. That optic never sits well with the public, but that is one reason.

Should have kicked out that homeless encampment in the plumbing department.
