http://www.wesh.com/news/raw-video-tractertrailer-bursts-into-flames-on-i4/26940268#!bfkhGb

Note: As best I can tell, the above two big rig fires are separate incidents, about 60 miles from each other. The one in Seffner was obviously daylight, although early in the morning during rush hour. The one in Lake Buena Vista was very dark, so it was before sunrise. So, two big rigs burst into flame within a few hours and 60 miles apart, both on I-4 in Florida...

2014-07-14 - In 3 separate incidents, car, outside of home, and van and truck burst into flame within 90 minutes after 1 AM along Palm Beach Boulevard in coastal Tice area of Fort Myers (Florida):

http://www.jrn.com/fox4now/news/3-suspicious-fires-within-same-area-in-Fort-Myers-266992841.html

Note: This is the western side of Florida, closest to the Gulf of Mexico, so this is where you'd expect to see things like multiple vehicles spontaneously igniting in the wee hours and the outside of homes catching fire. Lots of people have been found mysteriously dead along this side of Florida too, same problem...

http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_07_12/Explosion-in-Turkeys-Istanbul-injured-reported-0957/

Quote: "It is the second explosion caused by gas in as many days in Turkey. On Friday, a blast in a bakery in the southwestern city of Denizli killed one person and injured 36 others."

Quote: "Istanbul Gas Distribution Industry and Trade Incorporated Company (IGDAS) said in a written statement that there was no natural gas line in the area, increasing the possibility that a problem with the industrial gas cylinders led to the blast."

Note: As the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated by highly volatile methane and hydrogen sulfide, more OTHER flammable stuff will be igniting and/or exploding too, including gas cylinders, propane tanks, underground gas lines, propane barbecue grills, vehicles, and more. Did anyone check the air to see if there was any of either gas present before either of these explosions? Nope, so there may have been, and there probably was.

If they were smart they'd check the bottom of the seas around the western and northern edges of Turkey to see if there's gas bubbling up. Israel checked their coastline and they found hundreds of gas springs leaking from the sea floor, mentioned in the 2012-11-12 update. The US checked at least the East Coast and found a huge 2.5-gigaton methane hydrate deposit melting away off the East Coast. That's happening now in a variety of places around the world. Also, 15 boats just went up in flames in the wee hours while docked at a marina in Istanbul, mentioned in the 2014-07-10 update. I lived in Turkey for a while, south of Istanbul on the coast in Izmir, and I can tell you for a fact that these events are not normal or routine...

http://www.cornishguardian.co.uk/Arson-suspected-St-Austell-car/story-21455123-detail/story.html

Note: I just kinda ignore their arson proclamations now, seeing as they're uninformed about what's going on, and rarely - if ever - do they present any actual evidence of arson. But the arson proclamations are handy in the sense that that tells me this was a parked vehicle, whereas otherwise I wouldn't know that...

Note: 'Britain destroyed by fire, arson suspected.' Blah blah blah. Any actual evidence of arson? Nope, just suspicion based on ignorance again, because this was another parked vehicle...

Note: No arson suspected?! Ah, right, because this time there were witnesses. No witnesses = arson, that's the gist of their 'logic'. Cars are spontaneously igniting whether there are witnesses or not. The cars do not care if people are around or not...

2014-07-11 - Burning smell forces passenger plane to make emergency landing on Midway Island:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/07/11/guam-united-plane-midway/12560615/
http://7online.com/travel/united-airlines-plane-makes-emergency-landing-on-midway-island/178417/

http://www.nbcnews.com/business/travel/shock-landing-boeing-777-forced-retour-remote-pacific-island-n154191

Quote: "Alarms went off inside a United Airlines plane as a burning smell filled the cabin. The plane, which originated in Honolulu, began losing power and was forced to make an emergency landing over one of the most remote places on earth, a tiny island called Midway."

Quote: "The captain said that the smell was getting very strong in the cockpit and so they were very concerned and as they were getting ready to land. They said their electricity started to go out in the cockpit. And one of the things they had mentioned is the radar sensors that went out when we were getting ready to land..."

Note: Well, at least it didn't go missing this time! Still, there have been plenty enough planes burning and smoking to indicate a clear pattern, and those 'friendly skies' are looking more and more dangerous to me. I'm sure your odds of surviving a plane flight are still good and maybe even excellent depending on how you define the term...but they're also getting worse. The safest plane of all right now might just be an F-35 fighter jet, but only because they're all grounded due to one bursting into flame!

2014-07-11 - Metal business destroyed by fire in Harrison Township (Ohio), nobody there:
http://www.whio.com/news/news/local/industrial-fire-explosion-alpine-metal-finishing/ngdqF/
http://wdtn.com/2014/07/12/investigation-into-industrial-fire-just-beginning/

Quote: "The cause is under investigation and the fire will remain listed as suspicious, 'being that it was in the evening and nobody was there,' he said, until all other possibilities are ruled out."

Note: They should start by determining whether any gaseous methane or hydrogen sulfide blew into that building. They won't do that though, so their conclusions will be flawed and it's not really even worth wasting the time to listen to what they have to say. Until they recognize the problem they will always be incompetent in terms of doing their job...

2014-07-11 - In separate incidents, waste site and landfill erupt in flame in Calne (Britain):
http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/headlines/11334740.Arson_fears_after_Calne_waste_site_blazes/

Note: Arson suspected, same thing fire investigators said when several recycling businesses burned recently in and around Rhode Island. No evidence of arson, of course, as usual. Yeah, like people around the world are suddenly willing to risk prison time to break into trash facilities and burn some trash. In any case, they haven't eliminated accidental causes, like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper. That's basic fire investigation methodology, to eliminate accidental causes before jumping to conclusions. I guess these folks rode the short bus to fire investigator school...

Note: Must be from all the salt from salt trucks because of the recent snow *cough cough*. Watch and see, they'll be pulling that excuse out again as soon as there's snow, hoping - perhaps correctly - that people didn't pay any attention to the fact that these underground electrical explosions and fires have been happening all along, snow or no snow...

Quote: "No official word on the cause, however, the manager tells ABC 6 he believes it was intentionally set because he says tires need an accelerant to catch fire."

Note: Yeah, an accelerant like hydrogen sulfide and/or methane blowing through, which doesn't require any human involvement. Any rusty iron/steel near those tires, or electrified copper? I bet there was, but even if not, if the air mix gets volatile enough then the air itself can spontaneously ignite. Lots of tire fires recently, including a massive blaze at another tire recycling facility in Renfrew near coastal Glasgow (Scotland), mentioned in the 2014-07-10 update, and 500 tractor tires also just went up in flame in Cockfield, near Bishop Auckland (Britain), mentioned in the 2014-07-09 update, but there have been a great many other tire fires too, some just humongous...

Note: They can suspect all they want, but these fires probably aren't arson; they're just assuming that because they're vacant structures, just like they assume arson when it's parked vehicles that ignite. The rules have changed. The world is not as it once was. Will they catch on before the entire planet is on fire? We'll find out!

http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/yourtown/Witney/11331577.Fire_at_garden_centre_in_Ramsden/

Note: More underground electrical fires, more electrical infrastructure burning. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. It's also a heavier-than-air gas so it will tend to seek out low-lying areas like underground stuff. As a consequence there has been a rising number of underground electrical explosions and fires, utility poles and transformers bursting into flame, etc. This same problem is also causing vehicles to spontaneously ignite, and they need not be running, which is resulting in numerous homes going up in flames and sometimes killing people. It's increasingly dangerous to park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see on fire...

Quote: "Fire investigators believe this may have been set by a serial arsonist. They say this car fire shares a number of similarities to other car fires they've seen. 15 of them in Roswell alone, in just the past eight months."

Note: They still haven't noticed that this is happening all over the planet?! Their brains must've been hit by dumb rays from the local alien population. And of course these fires appear random, because gas blowing through in the atmosphere is random. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "The fire destroyed a fence and a steel railing used to store the lumber."

Quote: "Haunz said the fire appeared suspicious because no accidental factors that could be identified."

Note: Steel means rust and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rust. So some rust sparks, lands on something flammable nearby, like, say, a PILE OF LUMBER, and you have a fire. Basically the same as all the pallet fires, except this fire had some steel railing instead of rusty nails or screws...

http://fox6now.com/2014/07/09/one-of-the-worse-house-fires-in-south-milwaukees-history-why-some-arent-surprised-it-happened/

Quote: "South Milwaukee fire officials say after a detailed examination of the scene and interviews with the occupants and witnesses the area of origin of the fire has been identified as the northwest corner of the enclosed porch. Fire officials say all electrical, mechanical and natural causes have been eliminated — but fire officials say the cause of the fire remains undetermined."

Note: They haven't ruled out hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rust or electrified copper, so they're not being truthful there, as they haven't ruled out all accidental/natural causes - they just THINK they have. I bet there was a rusty grill, or an outdoor light or light switch or doorbell or something on that porch, or some of the nails used to construct the porch were rusty, something like that.

2014-07-07 - Air-conditioner bursts into flame, fire spreads, two businesses damaged, in Stroudsburg (Pennsylvania):
http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20140707/NEWS/407070316/-1/rss01

Quote: "Seip said it was the first time he had ever heard of that type of air conditioner causing a fire. He said fire marshals couldn't pinpoint how the appliance caused the fire."

Note: Air-conditioners are vulnerable to the atmospheric contamination problem because A) they use electrified copper; and B) they move the atmosphere around. As time goes on, more air-conditioners will be igniting and causing fires like this one. It's already happening, just not on a huge scale...yet. Air-conditioned buses are the ones that have mainly been burning in India and killing people too, same problem. Normally in the summer the demand for those buses goes up, but this year, for the first time, demand actually went DOWN, because of all the people who have died on those buses in the last year or so...

Odds are, they're not. Florida is downwind of the Gulf of Mexico so, as expected, lots of people and animals have been mysteriously dying in Florida, and lots of mysterious fires have been breaking out too.

2014-07-02 - Rash of recycling fires in Brockton (Massachusetts) and in Rhode Island spurs inquiry:
http://www.capenews.net/sandwich/rash_of_recycling_fires__spurs_closer_examination

Quote: "Unless the four events are coincidental, Chief Carrico said, a similar cause may underlie what led to all four fires—including the possibility that someone is targeting these kinds of facilities."

Note: Oh, there's an underlying factor alright, but it's not someone with a hardon to burn garbage. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Quote: "A utility pole on the other side of the street caught fire, but the fireball did not reach the homes across the street or businesses next to the truck. Two cars driving by the explosion were briefly engulfed by flames, Small said, and five people inside were treated at area hospitals."

Note: Whew, watch that explosion in the video in the first link. I guess that's probably about what the explosions are like from the various tractors that have been exploding while parked inside barns lately, except in this case there were a lot of people around, so there were a lot of injuries...

http://www.kapptv.com/article/2014/jul/01/two-suspicious-fires-ignite-yakima-morning/

Quote: "Firefighters were originally responding to a car fire a few blocks away when they got the call for the tire fire. They do not know if the two incidents are related, but they are suspecting arson because they say a pile of tire does not just burst into flames."

Note: They didn't USED to just burst into flame, but they certainly can now. Methane and hydrogen sulfide will adsorb onto and into rubber over time. Eventually there will be enough that spontaneous combustion will occur and tires will burst into flame. The shape of tires will also help them to capture gases. There have been many similar tire fires over the last couple of years. And it's no coincidence that the car burst into flame at around the same time and in the same area...same atmosphere.
