I work for a local A/E firm. We have been working on the retail parcels. Another local firm did the multifamily parcels (the ones that burned).

Our work is located on the very north end of the development and being we are going in for permit, our buildings haven't gone vertical yet. Thus, nothing to burn.

Just a shame to see 9 months of construction go up in flames in less than a day.

We need rain and badly here. A few days of gentle showers would be so wonderful, but it will likely be torrents for a brief time, gulley washers, or an insignificant two minute sprinkle.

We had storms in the metro but it was moving so fast we didn't get much accumulated moisture.

Glad there were no lives lost.

I understand we have been dry, but I wonder if this will come down to arson by the developer of the apartments.

I think it is more likely that someone on the construction crew ****ed up...bad.

It really is amazing that someone didn't die. I only saw what everyone else saw on TV but I've never seen anything like that. The heat coming off the first building must have been insane.

I guess anything is possible but I don't expect arson to be the cause. We are so dry it could have been a worker flipping a lit cigarette at break time.

99.9% chance of this. No one commits arson in the middle of the afternoon. Construction sites are rife with fire hazards, espcially all wood multi-family. Some dumb roofer or plumber got his torch pointed the wrong direction.

Some hoddie may have let his mortar fire get loose.
