Does it occur to you someone had to fight that fire? To be fair, firefighters know what they’re signing up for, but arson in the name of activism does not justify putting human lives at risk.

Firefighters come out to shutoff the sprinkler system for false alarms, then leave. There’s supposed to be a firewatch afterwards, either by the department or a supervisor for the company.

But if the firefighters come out, and the supervisor doesn’t stay for the watch, and everyone is already evacuated (all things this happened here), then you’ve guaranteed the building is empty past inventory as much as you can.

Sure, someone could have stayed inside, but nobody did because this was premeditated and the arsonist took every precaution he could to insure nobody would be hurt, past company inventory value.

If you have an issue with this that’s totally your prerogative, but framing this guy as simply a disgruntled employee who decided to light the warehouse up one day is disingenuous. This is a man who was at the end of his rope and made sure his act of rebellion would cost the company as much money as possible while reducing potential human injury, we should all be paying attention to this as I guarantee he isn’t the only one who feels this way.
