I hope the people all got out ok

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Looks like it's time to update the fire code for mega buildings.
 

[LurkedLongEnough]

Uh oh. Time for a new warehouse in Dallas? B-)

[Salvavida]

No seriously, Loudoun county really wanted that hub.

[rktman]

Sprinklers system? Just wondering. Not an option due to merchandise damage? Insurance? Not a good deal for fire fighters who are probably not familiar with that big a layout.

[null and void]

Hoses? If I made one hundredth the investment in inventory that building holds, I'd make darned sure there was a robust fire suppression system...

[PAR35]

An occupied building that large without a fire suppression system?

Sounds like all the Amazon warehouses need to be shut down until they put in suppression systems, standpipes, and fire lanes in the buildings.

[Rebelbase]

Maybe one of those overworked Amazon employees peed on a junction box instead of taking a bathroom break?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What a nightmare fighting a fire in that warren maze miles of aisles filled with racks and racks and racks. Hard to get hose lines into that beast.

At Gizmodo, Bryan Menegus wrote that the source of the fire was obvious:
* Fire TV
* Fire Stick
* Fire HD Tablets
* Fire Phone

Then he closes with “Fire Warehouse Sale!”

[bluejean]

Bummer. Hope my dog’s Polka Dog fishy order is okay.

[rfp1234]

Let’s see...Jeff Bezos was visiting, and wearing pants?

[Larry Lucido]

I think Art Vandelay ordered for them.

“So, what does he import?”

“Matches. Long matches.”

I’ll put my money on batteries.

And I’ll conjecture we end up with additional warehouse regulations that require mixed materials to have the batteries, flammables, and chemicals segregated and closer to outside access points when the building is over a certain amount of square footage to avoid the issue the Chief brought up about difficulty reaching it due to being in the middle.
