Quote: "Burnt-out cars are seen at a parking lot in Haikou City, South China’s Hainan Province, March 2, 2017. More than 6,000 scrap cars on the parking lot were destroyed in a fire that lasted about seven hours."

Note: First I've heard about it, but better late than never! That's the new record for most scrap vehicles to burn in one fire. I don't recall exactly what the previous record was, but I know it was less than 3000 vehicles, so this Haikou fire was at least twice as big as any previous scrap vehicle fire I've seen...

http://www.kwch.com/content/news/Firefighters-battling-massive-apartment-fire-in-Overland-Park-416652813.html

Quote: "A massive fire Monday afternoon at an apartment building under construction at a multimillion-dollar development on College Boulevard in Overland Park sparked blazes at numerous homes blocks away."

Quote: "Some residents described hearing an explosion before debris fell on houses and started fires. 'It sounded like a bomb,' said Juan Roque. The home of a resident on Reeder was completely destroyed. 'It just went poof,' she said."

Quote: "'It's a bit of a war zone down there,' Rhodes said, adding that in his ten years with the fire department, he's never seen an incident of this magnitude."

Quote: "The vast scale of the blaze left firefighters' resources stretched thin. As crews battled the large fires, homes could be clearly seen in flames with no trucks immediately available to help."

Quote: "'Yesterday’s CityPlace fire is undoubtedly the largest fire-related incident in Overland Park history,' Overland Park Fire Department spokesman Jason Rhodes said."

http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/city-news/lagos-strange-fire-guts-iroko-tree-burns-for-8-hours/190044.html

Quote: "There was panic in Badagry area of Lagos on Monday when an Iroko tree burst into flames and continued to burn for more than eight hours on its own. The incident happened in Topo Garage in the early hours of today and all efforts to put out the fire did not yield much result. Rather, the fire became more massive as officials of the State Fire Service battled to quell the inferno which was said to have started from the stem of the tree."

Note: A lot of the time with wildfires, they're blaming humans after eliminating 'traditional' ignition sources like electricity or lightning, but assuredly many of those fires they're blaming on humans are starting like this, with a tree or some bushes or dried grass or brush bursting into flame...

And as bad as things are now, this is as good as they'll ever be, because things are just gonna get worse from here on out, until nobody is left alive on the surface of the Earth. And then things will get REALLY bad, but we won't be around to care, so that'll just be a problem for bacteria and jellyfish and cockroaches and the like...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/wirral-explosion-authorities-confirm-multiple-10102396

Quote: "Gas Engineers were called to Bebington Road less than 24 hours before a massive explosion - but found nothing wrong. A spokesperson for National Grid today confirmed that engineers were called to Bebington Road to reports of a smell of gas on the evening of Friday, March 24 but say they found 'no trace' of gas. They were also called to several other sites around the borough but say that emergency engineers found 'no indication of a gas leak'."

Quote: "Worried residents described smelling gas 24 hours before explosion, but were told it was 'stench from the River Mersey'..."

Quote: "Jonathan Coxell, 36, a retail manager who lives just 200 metres from the scene, claims he called National Grid on Friday afternoon because of a strong smell of gas outside his home. But he claims an inspector told him the stench was 'the smell of the River Mersey' and could not find any evidence of a leak - despite admitting 'six people' reported the stench."

Note: More likely the stench came from the ocean right by this area, and that was almost definitely hydrogen sulfide there. And then within a day a massive explosion. Also, as I've been saying for years, people are confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with that of methyl mercaptan, which is what they add to normally odorless natural gas to give it an odor. And there's good reason for the confusion: one of the ingredients used to make methyl mercaptan is hydrogen sulfide...

http://www.thelocal.it/20170327/four-of-romes-public-buses-burst-into-flames-march
http://www.wantedinrome.com/news/romes-buses-catch-fire/

Quote: "A public bus burst into flames in the early hours of Monday morning - the fourth such incident in less than a month. Since the start of 2017, there have been seven fires on Rome's buses; 19 over the past 12 months. Bus fires have become such a common occurrence that local residents have begun keeping track of them using the hashtag '#Flambus' - a reference to Trambus, the former name of the city's public transport authority Atac."

Quote: "Consumer agency Codacons has called for a investigation by the public prosecutor into the 'mystery of Rome’s buses going up in flames', following the latest incident of an ATAC city bus catching fire while in service."

Note: First I've heard about all these buses burning. So 19 bus fires in a year, but 7 of them in 2017 so far, and 4 of those in the last month alone. That's escalation...
