MESA, AZ — Officials are investigating a fire outside of a Mesa gun shop Monday morning.
Fire officials tell ABC15 they were dispatched to the area of Southern Avenue and Mesa Drive for a fire in a storage container outside of a business complex.
The container had ammunition, flammables, and other hazardous materials that were exploding during the fire. For that reason, fire crews backed off and fought the blaze defensively for their own safety.

Antifarts doing deep state bidding?
Elon we need you to build fire fighting drones.
I doubt very seriously this shop put ammo in that garbage bin.
As for flammables, I doubt that also.
This wreaks of a setup arson.
The woke folks are ready to make that their next big push
I’ll bet.
What could go wrong with starting fires where explosives are stored. I wonder, do you think these morons can comprehend that armed people might actually guard their goods and take action against a criminal trying to destroy them? I bet that gun stores might have customers very willing to help protect them just for the opportunity to ‘interact’ with some domestic terrorists.
Because this is a gun shop the feds will investigate. They will determine that the folks wearing face masks and dumping bottles of flammables and ammunition into the garbage dumpster had no intent to create a fire when they tossed matches iand cigarettes in. “It was an accident”, Merrick will report.
Unusual activity for this area. Mesa (pop 500,000+) is the second largest city, right behind OKC, to vote for Trump in 2016 & 2020.
I believe the business is “Ghost Products CZ Custom Shop”.
Their reviews are all over the place. Great product, sometimes terrible service.
I wonder if a disgruntled customer decided to make some mischief.
Also, the name “GHOST” and “CUSTOM” in their name might correlate with the latest boogeyman story that is on the Dem talking points list.
Yes, that is where the fire was. The specific site of the fire is well off the road, insides of the fenced premises. Not sure how an arsonist would get to that area of the business.
No where to n the article does it mention garbage bins.
“Storage container” means the owner meant he planned on keeping the items.
Oh oh, I missed that.
Thanks. For some reason I zoned to trash bin.
