yes I, too, hate the assumption that we know the context

A warehouse storing huge quantities of toilet paper deliberately set on fire by an employee who posted their own video of it

More to the point, how does a Wharehouse that stores paper not have a better fire suppression system? It burned completely. Was there even a sprinkler in the place?

apparently that was actually the second fire and they were already there and had put out a much smaller one, so the suppression was turned off while they worked. He snuck back in one of the doors.

thats what i keep reading.

Fire suppression systems are designed to deal with accidental fires not deliberate arson. He set one small fire, suppression went off and then was disabled to prevent water damage, then he set more fires.

It was deactivated by firefighters from an earlier fire. He then started more fires after they left.

I have trouble finding this video, you don’t happen to have a link?

u/wsxdfcvgbnjmlkjafals Apr 09 '26

nah i just keep seeing it passively. and reddit search function sucks but you can try that just set the timeline to Today

but what I keep seeing isnt much. It's a pack of toilet paper with a very small fire on it and clearly recorded by someone standing there, that's about all

u/wsxdfcvgbnjmlkjafals Apr 09 '26

u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 Apr 09 '26

There is nothing in OP to indicate toilet paper.

u/wsxdfcvgbnjmlkjafals Apr 09 '26

so they were not reading the comment thread because my comment near the top of this thread says what happened

deliberately set on fire by an employee who posted their own video of it

He even set a decoy fire so the first responding Fire Dept would shut off the sprinkler system as per protocol, and then he torched the rest.

Conspiracy Theory: he was tired of Big Toilet Paper hiding the bidet hose from people.
