Note that the spools of conduit were the source of the fire, but said to be 'non combustible'. And were locked behind chain link fence.
But Mayor Mo was quick to announce it 'wasn't terrorism'.

Ah, they live to take credit for things like this if they did them.
Haven’t heard anyone lay claim to it yet.
Plus honestly, it’s not countrywide news. Most folks here don’t even know about it.

How about the combustible material below the road. How about a Fire Department Reponse before burning concrete. How about some responsibility and major US City. Curious as similar to Oakland. Still have questions 🔥 ☠️⛑🚫 🚘 💩

How the hell do you burn down an overpass or elevated highway? It’s concrete and steel. There’s not much there to burn.

I am an electrician. “conduit” does not come in “spools”. Conduit is thin meyal pipe that wire goes inside of.

They say the taxpayers are going to get stuck with the bill for the repairs. They ought to look to the owners who stored their flammable substances improperly, and the City of Atlanta who didn’t do anything about it.

“Several Months” doesn’t sound bad at all.
Here in Springfield MA, the highway overpass repair is taking several decades.

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.

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