As one who has been lost in Atlanta several times because I went to Atlanta several times, it seems notable to me that this fire didn't happen on Peach Tree Street, Peach Tree Lane, or Peach Tree anything else which pretty much means all of Atlanta is completely safe and unaffected.

There can't be any more than two or three roads that matter in Atlanta that aren't named in some way after peach trees so I would imagine this is much hullabaloo over nothing.

Oh! Also burning plastics not unlike burning tires can be difficult to get started but if you've got a good ignition source and enough mass it can be very difficult to extinguish once you've got a large quantity going. I'm not so sure about peaches.

‘I-85 Repairs Will Likely Take Several Months’
1994 Northridge earthquake repairs. Took 8 weeks to repair fallen bridges which were to take 74 days more. The construction company did so to get bonus money. They finished ahead of the schedule city agreed on then the city tried to screw the company out of the bonus.

My Father once told me that he had seen fireproof buildings in Berlin totally burned out. I think one he mentioned was the Luftwaffe headquarters.

All Georgia needs to do is hire some former North Vietnamese. The way they repaired the Ho Chi Min trail night after night, they could get I-85 up and running in no time.

Flexible pvc conduit for fiber optic cable. It comes in rolls, typically not on spools like the actual cable. It is quite likely both were being stored and were involved in the conflagration, from the pics I’ve seen.

Then you probably should refrain from pontificating (wrongly) on subjects of which you are ignorant. And buy a book to learn the difference between cable and conduit, and the different kinds of conduit available today.

You were quite obviously enlisted in the Navy; you are clearly not officer material.

Three people have now been arrested in connection with setting the fire. There are also reports of ATF investigating at the scene.

If you don’t want the opinions of others, you probably need to stay off of FreeRepublic. And spend that time learning about electrical terminology.
