If people don't die, then they need a new car and house, which gives the auto manufacturers and homebuilders more business, so they can make more autos and homes, which will burn down too, repeating the cycle. So it's like fire-based makework, Keynesian Economics With Hot Sauce...

Quote: "The blaze broke out about 1:15 a.m. at the Conroe Independent School District bus barn at 108 Gladstell, according to the Conroe Fire Department. It appears that three buses were destroyed and two others were damaged, said Lisa Meeks a CISD spokeswoman. No injuries were reported. Meeks said it appears the fire started in one of the buses and spread to others nearby."

Note: People still park vehicles next to other vehicles?!

She originally thought someone might have hit her house with their car, but after looking outside, she said she didn’t see anything. Estes also said she smelled a sweet odor."

Quote: "Startled awake at 3 a.m. on Tuesday by a small explosion outside his family’s apartment in Mount Vernon, N.Y., he quickly discovered that his brother’s car — parked only a few feet from their home — was on fire and that the flames were spreading to the two-story, multifamily house. He rushed to wake his brother, Jesus, 21, and his sister, Mariselis, 18, and the three fled before realizing that their parents, Alcedo, 60, and Nancy, 39, were trapped inside. The three ran back to rescue them. Only Raymundo would make it out alive."

http://bangordailynews.com/2013/10/28/news/down-east/second-fire-levels-home-on-tribal-land/

Quote: "A second fire of unknown origin in a week at the same house on the Passamaquoddy reservation at Pleasant Point finished it off over the weekend, burning what was left to the ground..."

Note: That's been happening lots: homes burning multiple times. That's because whatever vulnerabilities the building had to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, putting out a fire doesn't address them and the fire usually introduces new ones. Eventually structures will burn so hard and so many times that there is simply nothing left that CAN burn, and it sounds like that's the case with this house now...

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=9301133
 
Quote: "Within three minutes, crews were on the scene, but the fire was burning deep inside a 50-foot-high pile of scrap metal, Grayson said. It wasn’t clear Friday what started the fire, which officials said about 9 p.m. was under control. Workers were moving light metals around on the pile when the fire started, officials said. But the fire appeared to be 'very deep' in the pile, Grayson said. He said he believes the fire was accidental."
 
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas so it will settle deep into piles. The same scenario has been seen at some of the pallet fires, where the fire ignites deep at the bottom of the pile. It's the same basic cause: hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel (the nails and screws in pallets)...
 
2013-10-25 - Metal business damaged by explosion and fire in Chattanooga (Tennessee) several people injured:

http://timesfreepress.com/news/2013/oct/25/3-injured-fire-williams-street-chattanooga/
 
Quote: "Crews responded to a fire and explosion at Designed Alloy Products on Alton Park Boulevard around 7:30 a.m. Friday."
 
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." Over and over, fires are breaking out at metal-related facilities, exactly as predicted. We're nowhere near out of rusty iron/steel though, so there will be plenty more metal-related fires like these. Some of the parked vehicles going up in flames are probably caused by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel too, though I suspect the bulk of those fires are caused by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper, especially electrified copper...

2013-10-23 - Mysterious explosion shakes the ground across coastal Alabama and into the Florida panhandle:
http://blog.al.com/live/2013/10/mysterious_boom_shakes_the_gro.html
 
Quote: "There's no way to pinpoint exactly where the rumble/boom originated, because we've gotten mentions from across coastal Alabama and even the Florida panhandle."
 
Note: These mysterious home-shaking explosions that have plagued the world in the last couple of years are very likely caused by the detonation of atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane. Sometimes (usually at night) these explosions are accompanied by a 'flash of light'. Eventually these explosions may rival those caused by small fission weapons, like the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation, unless an explosion takes out a nuclear plant - many of which are on coasts and ALL of which are near bodies of water for cooling - in which case then we'd get some radiation too. The areas where this explosion was reported are all on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Another similar event just happened in Molino (Florida), near Harris Bay, as mentioned in the 2013-10-22 update...

2013-10-22 - Mysterious explosion occurs in wooded area in Molino (Florida), near Harris Bay:
http://www.northescambia.com/2013/10/residents-report-sound-of-explosion-in-molino
 
Quote: "Emergency personnel were able to determine the explosive sound probably originated in a wooded area between Schaag Road and Highway 95A,  nearly a mile north of Barrineau Park Road. Firefighters were unable to locate any damage to structures in the area, and they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause or location of the explosive sound."
 
Note: This was likely atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane exploding out there, which could have been ignited by static electricity or rusty iron/steel. These explosions will get more powerful as the atmospheric contamination intensifies. Some may eventually rival the force of small nuclear blasts like that which destroyed Hiroshima (but minus the radiation). This town is right next door to the Lower Escambia River Water Management Area...

2013-10-22 - Underground fire is what sparked the huge blaze near Lake Macquarie (Australia):
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-23/coal-fire/5041086

Quote: "The New South Wales Rural Fire Service says the massive blaze that swept through southern Lake Macquarie last week was sparked by an underground fire, which was virtually impossible to put out. Almost three-thousand hectares of scrub and bushland were burnt out in the firestorm. At least three properties were destroyed, and a man died defending his home at Lake Munmorah on the Central Coast."

Note: This sounds quite similar to an event late last year, where a fire broke out along the edge of Lake Woytchugga (Australia) and firefighters couldn't put it out, unextinguishable, as mentioned in the 2012-12-12 update. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas so it may seep into the ground and ignite coal or oil or gas beneath the ground if there's any rusty iron/steel in the area. That means that virtually every coal, oil and gas reserve in the world may eventually burn...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/22/american-airlines-emergency-landing/3157931/
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/10/22/3705068/miami-bound-american-airlines.html

Quote: "The pilot reported a fire in the cockpit and that the left engine was smoking and dripping fuel."

Note: American Airlines denies there was a fire. Pilot says there was, and he was the one who was there. Also, does the pilot have anything to gain by saying there was a fire if there wasn't? Nope. Does American Airlines have anything to gain by saying there wasn't a fire when there was? Yep. Draw your own conclusions...

Quote: "The fire was reported by a woman who received a satellite phone call from her husband, who told her the 39-foot Bertram named Afterhours was on fire and sinking, Franco said."

2013-10-22 - Twelve vehicles go up in flames in the wee hours in four fires in same general area, in Lakewood (Colorado):

http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_24360445/fire-crews-respond-3-fires-lakewood

Quote: "Krol noted the fires were all within blocks of each other and they all happened within a two-hour period."

Quote: "Investigators were interviewing witnesses all afternoon, but they say at this point nobody saw anyone running from any of the four fire scenes."

Note: That's exactly what you'd expect to see as a good-sized gas plume blows through an area, igniting here and there as it goes. 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...

http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/bus-building-fires-considered-suspicious/-/9357080/22557486/-/kf2qedz/-/index.html

Quote: "Love says the bus had been locked since Friday."

Note: A storage building housing tools also burst into flame, separate incident. Obviously they consider the bus fire suspicious since it was locked and hadn't been driven for days. Hydrogen sulfide will get past any lock and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring, and it's also reactive with rusty iron/steel, which all vehicles have unless they've just rolled off the assembly line...

Quote: "South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said it responded to reports of a fire which started in a van and spread to a nearby building. Crews are now damping down ahead of an investigation into the blaze, the fire service said. The van which was on fire is thought to have been parked in a loading bay at Woodside Retail Park on Chesterfield Road."

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, so if you park a vehicle next to something then you shouldn't be surprised if it goes up in flames...

Note: Well, I did mention a while back that multiple vehicles would be burning in parking lots, and so they are, with 19 vehicles burned in just three fires. Vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time: while parked at your home, while you're in the vehicle driving, while parked at work, etc...

Note: They don't mention a fire, but from the pic that truck looks like it's on fire. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. There've been a number of incidents where vehicles have burst into flame and started themselves. Maybe this truck burst into flame and instead of starting itself, the electrical system was disrupted in a different way, resulting in the air bags blowing...

http://www.actionnewsjax.com/content/topstories/story/Fire-destroys-Westside-hotel/2gRAaeDXP0SN0y8BnVVJ9w.cspx

Quote: "The fire started around 3:30 a.m., and took dozens of firefighters several hours to put out the flames. Lt. Mike Peery with the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department says the Value Place Extended Stay hotel was scheduled to open in 2014."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "So far as homes are concerned, vacant homes, unoccupied homes and homes under construction will burn hardest and first but the number of occupied homes burning will also be increasing."

http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/breaking-news/two-men-in-critical-condition-following-car-fire/nbSMw/

Quote: "Two men were found unconscious and pulled from a burning car near Middletown Eaton Road and Ohio State Route 122 earlier today. The men, who have not yet been identified, were transported to Atrium Medical Center in Middletown and remain in critical condition..."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is not only extremely flammable, it's also highly poisonous and can knock people unconscious or dead with one breath. This fire is very similar to an incident where a young engaged couple burned to death in their car on the way home, in McFarland (Wisconsin), near Madison, as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update, except with this current event, someone was around to pull the unconscious people out before they were dead. (They may still die though.) As more and more vehicles ignite, burning to death in vehicles will obviously become more common...

Quote: "They say this is the biggest fire in the history of the port of Santos, which exported 12.8 million tonnes of sugar in the first eight months of the year. The port is located some 80km (50 miles) from Sao Paulo."
 
Quote: "The fire hit all of Copersucar’s warehouses at the Santos port, igniting 180,000 tonnes of sugar – roughly 10 per cent of Brazil’s monthly sugar exports – and driving prices of the sweetener to a one-year high on global markets."
 
Note: And here's yet another mongo coastal fire. That's at least 360 million pounds of sugar wiped out. Some stories show a loss as high as 300,000 tons of sugar, or 600 million pounds...

http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2013/10/18/crews_working_sheet_.html

Quote: "Tampa Fire Rescue says crews have extinguished a large sheet metal fire at the Port of Tampa."

Note: And here's yet another major coastal fire. Coasts are going to burn the hardest as this extinction event proceeds, for the obvious reason: most of the flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide contaminating the atmosphere is coming from the oceans. Also, piles of metal don't normally burst into flame. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel though. That's the only explanation for all the piles of iron and steel that have been igniting, especially in the last year...

Note: The above two incidents were made worse because the vehicles were parked next to each other. That compounds the risk and the damage when fire breaks out. Now that vehicles are randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, it's unwise to park them next to anything you don't want to see destroyed, like other vehicles, or buildings. Disconnecting or removing the batteries would probably cut down on these fires substantially too...

Note: People still park firebombs...er, vehicles...in attached garages?! Well, that might be good for the housing construction part of the economy as houses get destroyed after vehicles ignite. And coffin and headstone manufacturers might see an uptick in business too, from the fatalities. Always look at the bright side of life!

http://www.khq.com/story/23727613/electrical-house-fire-in-north-spokane-is-the-strangest-fire-crews-have-seen

Quote: "The fire battalion chief said he had never seen a fire like this before. It was an electrical fire but what was strange was that there were multiple fires in opposite ends of the home."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. If it got into that house then it might ignite near multiple areas containing electrified copper. This is similar to the Boeing Dreamliner fires. First they had fires at the primary battery banks (electrified copper). They supposedly fixed that, and then what happened? They had a fire break out near the battery for the emergency locator beacon - electrified copper again, in a different area of the plane. 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...

http://www.signal2.co.uk/news/local/investigation-underway-into-nantwich-car-fires/
http://www.cheshirefire.gov.uk/news-events/incidents/car-fires-in-nantwich
 
Quote: "The three fires happened within a short space of time indicating they are likely to be connected."
 
Note: That's true, but not necessarily because of arson, which is their assumption. Same general area, compressed timeframe, same atmosphere, so these fires are DEFINITELY connected by the atmosphere. In the absence of evidence of people being involved (and as usual they present none), any other connection is mere conjecture. 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...

I used to say 'almost always', but I haven't EVER seen a fire involving the word 'mill' where there WASN'T a body of flowing water nearby, so it looks to be universally true. In this case, there's a stream or creek within 1000 feet of this road. Pooler is also near the coast...

Quote: "Spirit Airlines flight 165 from Dallas en route to Atlanta suffered a mechanical failure when passengers said one of the engines exploded 20 minutes after take-off. Fred Edwards said once he saw the flames outside the plane he texted his wife as fast as he could. 'We're on fire, love you,' he wrote."
 
Quote: "With his plane shaking violently and smoke filling the cabin, passenger Cliff McKenzie dialed his wife 26 times before connecting to her voicemail. 'Jan, I love you very, very much. This most likely could be the end. I want you to go on with your life,' he said."
 
Note: Lots of planes smoking and burning and crashing lately, but this is gonna get way worse. Eventually planes will be exploding and disintegrating in mid-air on a regular basis. I doubt too many people will be flying by then...

Note: Sorta like a smaller version of the parking lot fire that destroyed dozens of parked vehicles in coastal Sydney (Australia), as mentioned in the 2013-10-12 update.

And if you park your vehicle(s) next to your residence you might just end up dead when your vehicle bursts into flame and the fire spreads to your residence. Many people have died that way already. Vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can ignite at any time, whether they're running or not...

Quote: "A North Fort Myers family said they heard a sudden explosion outside their home. Their dump truck had caught fire. 'We were sitting inside. We just got home. We returned the car. We heard this awful explosion and I ran out the door to see what it was. I hollered at Gary and said the truck was on fire,' said the homeowner."
 
Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. Mostly it will just be your vehicle burning, but sometimes they will explode too. This event was much like the tractor that exploded at 4:30 AM while parked inside a barn at a property on Avon Lake Road in Litchfield Township, as mentioned in the 2013-09-05 update. There have been other similar events as well, sometimes with the vehicle exploding while being driven and burning and/or killing the occupant(s)...

2013-10-13 - Porch bursts into flame, fire spreads to home, in Bryant (Arkansas):
http://www.arkansasmatters.com/story/smoke-detector-saves-bryant-family-during-devastating-fire/d/story/P6oDaP8I20qxMoB0uHAUlg

Quote: "Their charred possessions now sit on the porch where fire investigators believe the fire began. These families are now left with nothing."

Note: Porches are vulnerable to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem. First, they're often made of wood, which will absorb either or both gases and may simply spontaneously combust. Second, porches are often held together with nails, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. Third, porches often have electrified copper running to doorbells or porch lights, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. Finally, porches are outside areas, fully exposed to the atmosphere. The same applies to wood decks and fences. If you have a wood porch, deck or fence, now would be a good time to make sure the paint or sealant on it is fresh, which should help at least somewhat. If you're planning on building a porch, deck, or fence, you might wanna consider that 'recycled plastic' stuff that looks like wood, but is nowhere near as absorbent as actual wood...

Quote: "So far, Molineaux says, they have no evidence the two fires are linked or are suspicious."

Note: These two fires happened around 4:30 AM. First, the exterior of a house burst into flame. Then a few blocks away, a home's outdoor deck burst into flame. That's a sign of a flammable gas plume blowing through the area and igniting here and there as it goes. And obviously exterior stuff is more vulnerable to the hydrogen sulfide and methane problem since the gases are blowing through in the atmosphere. This area is near the Bow River...

Note: I did mention that as the atmospheric contamination proceeds, we'd see entire parking lots of vehicles going up in flames. Well, here you go. This is more likely to happen in coastal areas, like Sydney here, and this will become more common everywhere as time goes on...

Note: And the day prior, a recycling center burned in Wareham, as mentioned in the 2013-10-11 update. 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: "Electrical engineers were called to Cobholm, Great Yarmouth, following reports of a fire coming from a manhole."
 
Note: Underground electrical fires and explosions have been steadily increasing in frequency as the atmospheric contamination proceeds. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings...

2013-10-10 - Spate of vehicle fires in the wee hours hits Crewe (Britain):
http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Hunt-car-arsonists/story-19919632-detail/story.html

Note: As usual, they present no evidence that these fires are caused by people. But they probably would prefer that people THINK it's arsonists rather than vehicles simply igniting on their own. Still, they play the 'arsonist' card so often that an outside observer might conclude that half the people in Britain are constantly thinking about sneaking out at night and risking prison time to burn up some cars, which isn't exactly a good message to send if you count on stuff like tourism. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any flammable methane or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-10-09 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes in Springfield (Oregon), near the Willamette River:
http://www.kval.com/news/local/Report-of-explosion-in-Springfield-police-find-nothing-227145451.html
 
Quote: "... it was loud enough for many to hear and shook lots of people's houses."
 
Note: This town is just northeast (downwind) of the Willamette River. There have been many of these mysterious explosions around the world, especially in the last year. These explosions - sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light' - are very likely atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. When there's not a lot of gas then these explosions may sound like fireworks or gunfire and are often described as 'popping sounds', heard right before many fires in the last year or so. As the atmospheric contamination proceeds, the size, concentration and number of gas plumes in the atmosphere will be increasing, resulting in more and larger explosions. Eventually these explosions may rival those produced by small thermonuclear weapons like the fission bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation, unless an explosion destroys a nuclear plant (many of which are on coasts and all of which are near bodies of water for cooling), and then we'd get radiation too...

Note: DeSoto is just east (downwind) of Joe Pool Lake. Vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, so park your vehicle(s) near your residence at your own risk. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any flammable hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-10-08 - Fiery electrical explosions plague NSA data center in Bluffdale (Utah):
http://nation.time.com/2013/10/08/fiery-metal-melting-explosions-at-nsa-data-center-stump-investigators/
http://nextnewsnetwork.com/fiery-explosions-rock-nsa-data-center/

Quote: "In the past 10 months alone, the facility has experienced 13 electrical surges, which officials describe as “a flash of lightning inside a 2-foot box.” The melting metal that results from the fiery explosions causes the circuits to fail and prevents NSA workers from using the computers. A spokeswoman for the NSA insists, despite no clear culprit for the explosions, that the issues 'have been mitigated.'"

Quote: "Massive electrical surges at a data storage facility for the National Security Agency have led to the destruction of hugely expensive machinery and delayed its opening for a year..."

Quote: "Investigators have not yet determined the root cause of the electrical failures, nor have they agreed upon a solution that could prevent the explosions from happening again."

Note: These boxes are probably well-protected from fluids - e.g. rain - but they are probably not airtight. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and obviously there's some of that involved in these explosions. Unless they've protected the contents of these boxes from the atmosphere then they haven't solved the problem and tax dollars will continue to go up in flames...

Note: The other fire mentioned was a huge blaze that destroyed a recycling center in Jackson (Missouri), as mentioned in the 2013-10-04 update. I specifically mentioned that both wood-related businesses and recycling facilities would burn hard during this extinction event, and that is indeed happening...

Quote: "For the second time in as many months, Jersey City firefighters dealt with a fire at a Jersey City metal recycling company..."
 
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." Other than hydrogen sulfide, which is reactive with both rusty iron/steel and copper, what other explanation is there for piles of scrap metal igniting? Nobody has ever offered up another explanation, most likely because there isn't one. There have been a rising number of fires much like this one and the problem is certain to worsen as the atmospheric contamination proceeds...

2013-10-07 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame while parked at business on Stackpole Street in St. Marys (Pennsylvania):
http://gantdaily.com/2013/10/08/fire-marshal-investigates-two-truck-tractor-fires/

Note: They mentioned another parked tractor trailer bursting into flame at a different business in St. Marys the day prior, but I mentioned that one already in the 2013-10-06 update. So, two parked tractor trailers went up in flames within 24 hours in St. Marys, both blamed on 'electrical problems'. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. This is undoubtedly the cause of many of the parked vehicles/boats bursting into flame, along with transformers burning, all the underground electrical fires and explosions, etc.

Note: These were probably all parked vehicles, so they're assuming it's arson. These fires probably started via hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper or rusty iron/steel, like all the other parked vehicles going up in flames everywhere. The only country that seems to be paying attention to the problem is Vietnam, where the government is having a National Assembly meeting in May to discuss all the vehicular fires and explosions, as mentioned in the 2013-09-07 update...

http://www.ktre.com/story/23628765/trinity-co-sheriffs-office-seeking-publics-help-in-2-suspicious-car-fires

Quote: "It appeared as though accelerants were used to start the two fires..."

Note: Both methane and hydrogen sulfide are accelerants. This sounds like the same mistake the police in Norwich (Vermont) made when three of their squad cars went up in flames while parked at a police station, as mentioned in the 2012-11-22 update. First they said an accelerant was used, so they assumed it had to be arson. Then they retracted that and said it was accidental. There WAS an accelerant involved - hydrogen sulfide or methane or both. But police stations have surveillance cameras so they probably took a look and SAW those three cars simply burst into flame, so it was clearly not arson despite their initial assumption...

2013-10-06 - Mysterious explosion sets off burglar alarms and shakes homes in Stretford (Britain):
http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mystery-bang-rocks-stretford-trafford-6147539
 
Quote: "People living in the area reported hearing the massive bang around 8pm, with people going out into the road to see what had happened. But police, ambulance and fire services all said they had no record of any incidents in the area which could explain the explosion."
 
Note: And yet another neighborhood-shaking explosion with no discernible source. These mysterious explosions - sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light' - are very likely hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes of considerable size finding an ignition source and detonating. If this explosion had occurred inside a neighborhood then that neighborhood might have been wiped off the map. Eventually these explosions may rival those generated by small thermonuclear weapons, like the fission bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. Stretford lies on flat ground between the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal...

Quote: "A 600 square metre storage shed collapsed in the fire and pallets of manufactured stock, a forklift and a delivery truck were lost."

Quote: "On Sunday, firefighters were also called to a large pile of burning tyres near the Swanbank Power Station."

Note: The owner thinks this fire may have been deliberate since there've been other fires nearby in recent times. Well, that's happening everywhere, and there will be waaaay more fires as time goes on, and no humans will be involved. Also, this fire involved both pallets and vehicles, and both pallets and vehicles have been bursting into flames at an escalating rate for some time now. If you own a business near a body of water, and you have any pallets or vehicles around, you shouldn't be surprised at all when your business goes up in flames...

Note: And here's yet another major fire in a coastal area, not unlike the huge blaze that destroyed the boardwalk in coastal Seaside Park (New Jersey), or the massive scrap metal fire on the coast in New Jersey, or the fire that destroyed several buildings at the waterfront in Georgetown (South Carolina), and many other major coastal fires. The flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide is primarily blowing in off the oceans so coastal areas will obviously be getting hit the worst by fires. That's already the case, but it's going to get much much worse...

http://www.local12.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/overnight-barn-fire-colerain-township-3523.shtml
http://www.fox19.com/story/23616396/authorities-investigate-suspicious-colerain-township-fires

Note: They think the house fire was arson because there were multiple points of origin. Well, maybe there were multiple rusty nails or multiple spots with electrified copper wiring out there. They say they've eliminated all possible accidental causes. Does that include hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper? No, so they haven't actually eliminated all possible accidental causes, which means that fire may not have been arson at all. You have to take anything they say with a shaker full of salt until they wake up to the atmospheric problem. Also, two fires in the same general area in a compressed timeframe is a sign of a flammable gas plume blowing through an area and igniting here and there as it goes. 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...

2013-10-03 - Car bursts into flame while parked at home, home burns too, in Pendleton (Indiana), 2 dogs killed:
http://heraldbulletin.com/crime/x1442576987/Car-fire-spreads-to-house-causing-150-000-in-damage

Quote: "The exact cause of the blaze is still under investigation, but it apparently began in the engine compartment of Stewart's 2000 Buick, Gardner said."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other vehicle wiring. This is why it's so dangerous now to park a vehicle near your home, or near anything you don't want to burn: vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can ignite at any time. Ignore this danger and you can easily lose your home, your pets, your life, or all of the above...

2013-10-03 - In separate incidents, vehicle bursts into flame and junk vehicles burst into flame, in South Boston (Virginia):
http://www.yourgv.com/index.php/news/local-news/8932-fire-burns-junked-vehicles-behind-franklin-s-garage
http://www.sovanow.com/index.php?/news/article/fire_torches_cars_at_franklins_garage/

Quote: "At the time the fire was reported, South Boston firefighters were nearby on Highway 58 extinguishing another vehicle fire reported east of Franklin’s Garage near Seven Oaks Baptist Church, the chief said. After extinguishing the first vehicle fire, firefighters from South Boston responded to the second blaze behind Franklin’s Garage where they were assisted by firefighters from Halifax, Turbeville and Cluster Springs Volunteer Fire Departments. Donnie Ellington, owner of the garage, used a tractor with a bucket on the front end to lift a blazing van so firefighters could put out the fire underneath the vehicle before it spread to other old vehicles and parts nearby. A large pile of wooden pallets burned several feet away under the watchful eye of firefighters."

Note: So a vehicle burst into flame on Highway 58 then almost at the same time some scrap vehicles burst into flame at a nearby garage. That's a sign of a flammable gas plume blowing through the area igniting here and there as it goes. And more pallets burning at the garage along with the scrap vehicles. Things are certainly getting very obvious now...

Quote: "Eight passengers and eight crew were aboard the 41-metre superyacht Seafaris when it caught fire before sinking off the Daintree coast at about 6am..."
 
Quote: "Everyone aboard made it to the lifeboat and not long after there was an explosion and the Seafaris sank."
 
Quote: "Seafaris was estimated to be worth about $16 million when it was launched in 2004. Experts say you could at least double that price now. It was simply a magnificent vessel which could carry 10 guests and 10 crew. Features included a gym, guest library, cinema, helipad, hydrotherapy spa, professional diving and fishing facilities, water toys, sun lounges, outdoor teppanyaki bar, formal dining area, casual barbecue area, scenic cocktail bar and a 10-metre diesel jet boat for 'aquatic outings'. It had hosted some of the rich and famous, including in 2006 when Crown Prince Frederik and his Australian wife Princess Mary of Denmark were guests for a private cruise in Sydney. It had also hosted Giorgio Armani and Shiekh Mohammed bin Rashed at Maktoum of Dubai."

2013-10-02 - Mammoth fire destroys more than 1300 homes in North Jakarta (Indonesia), near the coast, 5000+ people homeless:
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/10/03/fire-damages-thousands-homes-n-jakarta.html-0

Quote: "Residents assumed that the fire was caused by a short circuit in a house that had been left vacant after the owner had returned to his hometown in Madura, East Java."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. Fires like this probably start small, as a spark lands on something flammable and ignites, but because the building is vacant, nobody notices the fire until it's big, and then it's too late to do anything except try to control the damage...

http://www.abc3340.com/story/23328228/large-commercial-fire-at-scrap-metal-business-in-north-birmingham

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." Also, the wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any flammable hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the air closer to the ground...

2013-10-02 - Drum of epoxy explodes at business in coastal San Diego (California):
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/oct/02/haz-mat-crews-responding-morena-chemical-spill/

Quote: "He said the epoxy apparently got contaminated by some other substance, creating a chemical reaction that heated the hardening agent to about 300 degrees. When the drum exploded, about a fourth of the molten epoxy sprayed around over the shed interior..."

Note: The drum was just sitting there, with a lid on, so what could have contaminated the contents? Only something in the air, and only if the lid wasn't 100% airtight, which it obviously wasn't. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with lots of chemicals, and it's blowing in off the ocean, and this area is right on the coast...
