2016-02-16 - Car bursts into flame while parked in underground carpark at apartments, fire spreads to building, in Canyon County (California):
http://www.signalscv.com/section/36/article/148714/

Quote: "Upon arrival, fire crews found a 'vehicle on fire in an underground garage,' said Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Miguel Roneles. The blaze then spread to a unit above the garage..."

Note: Same thing as all the various underground electrical fires. Hydrogen sulfide, reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, is heavier than air, so one would expect there to be a rise in underground 'electrical fires' as the atmospheric contamination intensifies, and there certainly has been. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, whether parked or being driven. Plenty of people have lost their homes and their lives that way, so park a vehicle near where you live at your own risk...

http://www.hidesertstar.com/news/article_5d4c4ebe-d6b3-11e5-9367-9f33c2fff405.html
http://www.z1077fm.com/morongo-valley-firefighters-save-two-homes-rv-lost/

Quote: "Nanette Ross owns the motorhome and said it had not been used in over two years. 'There is no reason the motorhome should have caught on fire because we have not been using it and nothing was turned on,' Ross said."

Note: That doesn't matter. It probably still had a battery in it, so there's some electrified copper, and even if the battery was dead or removed then it still had rust on it, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rust, no other ignition source necessary. That's why junk vehicles at salvage yards and piles of scrap iron/steel have been bursting into flame...

Quote: "More than a dozen fire companies responded to a two-alarm fire at a vehicle repair garage south of New Castle, authorities said. One firefighter needed to be hospitalized when he experienced a medical emergency and a person living on the second floor of the building has been displaced."

Quote: "A firefighter suffered a medical emergency at the scene of a massive fire in New Castle, Del. on Friday morning."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide blows ashore, some adsorbs onto matter. Eventually a fire breaks out. The smoke may have some residual hydrogen sulfide in it, and that's sickening and sometimes killing firefighters, and others too, but firefighters are obviously very vulnerable to the threat since their job entails being near smoke on a regular basis. Best to assume the smoke from any fire is deadly now. If you're wrong then the worst case is that you took some extra unnecessary precautions. If you assume smoke is safe and it's not then the worst case is you die...

2016-02-20 - Two cars, RV trailer, RV and home go up in flames at 1:30 AM in Northfield Township (Michigan):
http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2016/02/home_destroyed_by_fire_in_nort.html

Quote: "The residents of the home woke up to a flash and believe the fire started on the outside of the house, Wagner said. After attempting to use a fire extinguisher, the residents called for help and evacuated. Wagner – who arrived first at the scene – said the home was 80 percent involved in fire when firefighters arrived."

Quote: "Two cars and a camper were damaged in the fire. A motorhome suffered exterior damage."

Note: That flash was very likely a cloud of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide finding an ignition source outside the house, starting a 'flash fire', which ignited and destroyed the home. The ignition source could have been any heat source, electrified copper (exterior dimmer switch or a light, or a doorbell or an electrical socket), a rusty nail or pipe or grill, a generator, a vehicle of any kind, etc. Seeing as they had four vehicles parked there, it was probably a vehicle that was the ignition source. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "An elementary school several hundreds yards away saw many of its windows shattered."

Note: Last August, in Port Townshend (Washington), about 50 miles north of Port Orchard, a man saw a huge expanding cloud of fire in the sky, mentioned in the 2015-08-13 update. That had to be a 'flash fire' burning off a cloud of flammable gas in the atmosphere. Sometimes these clouds of gas will explode too, and sometimes when they explode they'll destroy whatever is nearby, like homes or businesses. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours. This is the 62nd residential explosion in 2016...

2016-02-27 - Bus fires increase 38 percent in the last two years in Australia:

Quote: "A damning report by the NSW Office of Transport Safety Investigations (OTSI) reveals a 38 per cent increase in blazes in the past two years."

Note: I see they mention brakes. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

2016-02-27 - Seven school buses go up in flames while parked in lot in Hutchinson (Kansas):

Note: They say 'likely caused by cig'. The problem is, they don't even know what the possibilities ARE, so any 'probability assessment' they have is at best questionable. How do they know that the same thing that's been causing rusty iron to ignite didn't cause this fire? They don't. What were the methane levels and hydrogen sulfide levels in the air and in the ground in this area, and on the buses themselves? Nobody checked, so that possibility can't be ruled out. So they've got nothing but a guess based on poor observation skills and lack of knowledge; that's not good enough. These are the 50th through 56th school buses to burn in 2016 and these are the 128th through 134th buses to burn in 2016...

Note: Not sure what 'nearly 20' means exactly, so I'll call it 18 buses...

Quote: "A fire that started at about 3:30 a.m. destroyed about 50 boats and several structures at Dozier Yachting Center on Urbanna Creek in Urbanna on Monday, February 29, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Police say two people who lived aboard boats in the marina have died."

Note: Some of the stories say 21 boats destroyed, but that was the 21 boats that were on the docks and didn't include the boats stored inside the boat storage warehouse. At least 350 boats just went up in flames at 10:30 PM the night before at a marina in Portland (Oregon) too, mentioned in the 2016-02-28 update, so that's 400 boats destroyed in less than six hours in just two fires. Here's a Google Maps link of the area. These are the 543rd through 592nd boats or ships to burn in 2016...
