    This happened 3 days ago and was caused by faulty solar panels catching fire on the rooftop.

    This is the same video as on the tweet. It was posted on tiktok 3 days ago. The tweeter claims this happened today. https://www.tiktok.com/@rocio1821/video/7626431313540631839

    Remember when the East Palestine Ohio chemical spill train crash happened and then for like a week we everyone was talking about every train crash but also train crashes aren’t that uncommon?

    Maybe factory fires aren’t that rare and most of them are caused by faulty equipment.

      I 100% of the time take Amazon at their word. If they said it was a solar panel fire, that must have been it.

        The article has a image of the fire damage.

        there was a factory fire near my house last week. It was also a complete accident. This shit happens all the time.

          Algorithms are picking up every mention of warehouse and fire and pushing it to people who are then sharing it and pushing it further. Social media doesn’t care about recency which is why almost all of them default to trending. It’ll push days old news as if it just happened because it sounds like it’s related.

            There is an estimated 3000 industrial/factory fires in the US every year. That’s like 8 factory fires every day.

        This, but unironically.

      Maybe factory fires aren’t that rare

      At the factory (which worked with molten aluminum) I worked at for 5 years, a fire happened at least once a year there on night shift.

      The worst one when I was there being that some molten aluminum from a melting furnace had splashed up 20+ feet from the furnace to the ceiling, and because of all the dust particles and oil residue that had collected on it, it got set on fire a little bit. Nothing bad enough to do any damage to the building, but we were all standing around outside in the parking lot for a couple hours while 4 or so trucks from two or more municipalities responded.

      The funniest one was a light fixture caught fire, and melted itself off the ceiling. The funny part was it was near the end of the shift, and the whole maintenance team was just standing there looking up at it, kinda just waiting for it to either burn itself out or get worse to pull the alarm, and a bunch of us who could see the light fixture on fire was also looking at it burn itself out too.

      Essentially this is just a bunch of western journalists showing off just how disconnected they are to the communities and areas they report the news to/from.
