A massive six-alarm fire destroyed a 1.2-million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark distribution center in Ontario early Tuesday morning.

Police arrested 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim, an employee of a third-party distribution partner, on suspicion of felony arson.

While no injuries were reported among the 20 employees onsite, the building and its contents are considered a total loss.

A warehouse full of paper products.

Burning down his place of employment was a stupid way to complain about his pay which he will no longer have to complain about.

I’m not so sure if he was complaining about pay. I’ll wait for more information. I’ve heard of NFI Industries. Seemed like a good company, but it’s hard to know looking from the outside.

This had nothing to do with employee disputes or paychecks. He’s most likely Iranian.

My guess is the sprinkler system was overwhelmed if accelerant’s were used.

“All that paper and there was no sprinkler system?”

It was blue water and promptly absorbed by the paper products.
