Let’s ask him if he did or not.
Well at least no one said “Fire at Will!” Will wouldn’t like that.
I hate that we aren’t required to put location in the posting form although in this case I do know that Ft. Worth is the county seat of Tarrant County.
That — or fracking!!
Wow, right down the road from me. Been there once, it WAS an indoor range. Pictures make it look like it was the range side of the building burning first.
I think that too often posters are so familiar with place names in their states that they forget that most people in other states will not be. IMO, it really helps to do as I suggested in my comment with the parentheses.
Yeah, Red that parentheses idea is a good one.

There’s unburned powder on the floor at a busy range. They have to sweep it every day. It accumulates in the floor expansion joints and anywhere where floor meets wall.
It will burn. I worked at a range and we had a few small fires even though we swept the place every night. A spark from a shooter hits the floor and ignites the accumulation. Mostly it burns out harmlessly, but not always. The owner of the range bought a pack blower to clear the ranges every month.
