Nashville Fire Department investigators arrested a Taco Bell shift leader after employees allegedly set a fire that caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage while they were playing with fireworks inside the restaurant.

(Snip)

Investigators said the surveillance footage showed employees locking the restaurant to keep customers from entering the business. They then allegedly ran around the store with fireworks in their hands. At one point the employees went into the men’s restroom and returned to the lobby a few minutes later and placed an item in a trashcan near the door.

Employees allegedly went outside the restaurant and began recording video of the trash can on their phones. While doing so, the employees locked themselves out of the store and called 911 when they saw smoke coming from the trash can, investigators say.

Oh man, what can I say?

1. Employees locked customers out, then ran around inside with lighted fireworks.

2. Inside the restaurant there was trash can by the door. They placed an item in this trash can. Then they went outside and filmed the trash can. (It gets better now)

3. They saw smoke coming from the trash can, but they had locked themselves out of the store.

4. The fire department put out the fire in the trash can, and found further damage in the men's restroom.

5. Damage estimated at 30,000 dollars.

CRAP!
The video is just talking heads TALKING about the fireworks video from inside. No actual video of the fireworks inside the building.

When I was in 9th grade, I read that mixing potassium permanganate and glycerin would cause spontaneous combustion, so I thought I’d give it a try in our chem lab before class one day. Nothing happened. I was naturally was disappointed so I tossed the mixture in the trash can.

Ten or fifteen minutes later the trash can was on fire! I was fortunate we got it out before the school burned down.

Later on I learned that the KMnO4 must be finely ground. Coarse crystals take a long time to react or may not react at all. I was using coarse crystals.

In your day and my day, trash cans were made of steel which would have limited the damage done by the fire.

Most trash cans today are made of plastic which will only add to the available fuel.

Only a real idiot would start a fire in a plastic trash can.

Good point. They were indeed high quality American-made steel. I hadn’t thought of that.
