2017 - MAR - Fires And Explosions 1




2017-03-01 - Man, 61, found dead and burned in fire pit while camping at Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area (Illinois):
http://myjournalcourier.com/news/106433/inquiry-continues-over-body-found-in-campsite-fire

Quote: "Illinois State Police are continuing the investigation into a body found in a fire pit at a camping site in the Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area. Cass County Death Examiner Scott Lummis said the body of David Gibson, 61, of Athens was found Feb. 19 at Site M of the 16,500-acre state wildlife preserve. He had been camping with family members, according to reports. Gibson was partially burned in a fire, but a cause of death has not been determined. Lummis said there was no evidence of foul play."

Note: Burn some contaminated wood, get a whiff of the smoke, lose consciousness, slump over into fire pit and die. Been seeing this happening over and over again over the last coupla years. It'll keep getting worse though...

2017-03-01 - Trash explodes and kills boy, 15, junior firefighter, in Clearfield County (Pennsylvania):

Quote: "Investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong after a Clearfield County teenager was killed while throwing out and burning trash. Pennsylvania State Police are describing the death of 15-year-old Thane Lucas as a freak accident. The junior firefighter was putting a bag of garbage in a metal barrel Tuesday night when something exploded and hit him in the neck, investigators said."

2017-03-01 - Update on small plane that crashed into homes and killed 3 people in Riverside (California) - plane was smoking as it came down:

Note: This is the 21st aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2017...

2017-03-01 - Parked car starts itself, takes off, slams into home, bursts into flame, near Cleckheaton (Britain):
http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/dog-saved-fire-after-car-12676830
http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/15126818.Dog_rescued_after_electrical_fault_leads_to_flaming_car_crashing_into_house/

Quote: "A parked car started itself, drove off and burst into flames as it crashed into a house, setting the kitchen on fire. The bizarre incident happened near Cleckheaton this afternoon. The occupants of the house at Marsland Court, Hunsworth, escaped unaided but their dog was saved from the flames by firefighters."

Note: What actually probably happened is, the car ignited near some wiring, some insulation burned off, and then some wires shorted, the car started itself and then took off, still burning, then hit the house. The most notable event involving a self-starting and burning vehicle so far (and it'll be tough to top this) was an unoccupied boat that burst into flame in the middle of the night, started itself, then tore across coastal Coffs Harbour in Australia while burning, hitting other boats, mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and methane can ignite in the presence of electrified copper too, and a great many of the vehicle fires (and cellphone fires, house fires, business fires, underground fires, etc) are being caused by 'electrical faults', e.g. fires that ignite right where there's some electrified copper.

When these fires occur with occupied vehicles it's sometimes fatal because these fires can disable the electrical system and suddenly windows don't roll down and you can't unlock the doors, so unless you have something handy with which to shatter car windows - and you may only have seconds to act before the oxygen supply is gone - then you can easily die. Many people have died that way and many more will. Sometimes they find the dead people in the back seats of the burned vehicles because they crawl there to move away from the flames spreading from the dash, but that just buys you a few seconds....

http://m.vietmaz.com/2017/03/another-ha-long-boat-catches-fire/

Quote: "A tour ship went on fire on Monday night in Vietnam’s scenic Ha Long Bay, forcing two guards to leave the ship but they were safe. The fire broke out in the cabin at midnight when the wooden boat was docking at the Tuan Chau International Port, but the two crew members managed to escape."

Quote: "The fire extends a series of similar incidents in the bay in the past year."

Quote: "This is the third fire on wooden boats since the beginning of this year and the 14th boat fire in almost seven years on Ha Long Bay."

Note: So 11 boats went up in flames in the 7 years prior to 2017, but now 3 boats have gone up in flames since the beginning of 2017. That's serious escalation, so both buses AND boats are increasingly going up in flames in Vietnam. That's true of other places too, of course, since this is a planetary extinction event, not a regional problem...

Quote: "Kansas just set a new record it never wanted to break. 502,000 acres have burned in Clark County and Comanche County, making it the biggest single fire in state history, according to the Kansas National Guard. That surpasses the 312,427 acres that burned in Barber and Comanche Counties in 2016."

Quote: "Randall Spare, a veterinarian in Ashland, the county seat, said it was too early to make a guess as to how many cattle were lost in the blazes; ranchers are still trying to assess the damage. 'It’s probably at least 2,000. It could be 6 or 7,000,' he said. With spring approaching, many of the cows were calving, Bouziden said, and if the calves are added to the count, the number of animals lost could nearly double."

Note: So the previous largest fire in Kansas history was set just one year ago, and now this one just surpassed that one by almost 190,000 acres, so far...

Quote: "The operators of the Tibbitt to Contwoyto winter road have launched an investigation into the ‘unusual’ number of truck incidents in the Yellowknife area recently. Over the past couple weeks, three trucks have caught fire, one overturned and another went off the road in the area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported."

Note: Unless they face reality then this investigation will be useless and accomplish nothing. Well, I guess it'll give investigators something to do while they collect paychecks, but that's it...

2017-03-08 - Numerous boats and jet skis go up in flames at boatyard in coastal Miami (Florida):

Note: Looks like at least 20 or 30 boats and jet skis burning there, but hard to tell exactly how many were boats. I'll just call it six boats, which from the look of things is probably conservative. These are the 179th, 180th, 181st, 182nd, 183rd and 184th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2017...

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/13/man-70-dies-day-after-joliet-fire/

Note: From the full hypothesis: "People's clothing will spontaneously combust from time to time, or ignite very very easily from the slightest spark or heat, as has been happening with increasing frequency and people will be burned to death as a consequence." A lot of these fires are flying below the radar because a lot of the time, someone will ignite then collapse, still burning, which ignites their home, and by the time firefighters show up, the entire home is in flames, so then it just looks like any ol' fatal fire. Same with the cars bursting into flame. Sometimes a car bursts into flame and then the car runs off the road and hits a tree, and responders show up and assume that the impact is what caused the fire instead of the fire causing the impact...

http://thecountypress.mihomepaper.com/news/2017-03-15/News/Car_fire_claims_life_of_Lake_Orion_man.html

Quote: "The body of a Lake Orion man, 20, was found in the back seat of a vehicle that caught fire Monday night on Dryden Road.  The fatal fire is under investigation by the Almont Police Dept. to determine whether the incident was accidental or a suicide."

Note: I bet his car ignited and he tried to escape but his doors were locked and windows up and they weren't working, so he retreated to the back seat trying to avoid the flames. But that just buys you a minute or so, and maybe not even that long. Best to have something in your car at all times with which to cut seat belts and smash windows, because you may only have seconds to act once your car ignites. A man just had to watch his daughter burn to death after their car ignited and he couldn't open the door and he had nothing to break the windows, in Laiwu (China), mentioned in the 2017-03-08 update...

2017-03-15 - Cabin without power bursts into flame and burns up on unoccupied island in Lake of the Woods in Kenora (Wisconsin):
http://www.kenoraonline.com/local/island-vacant-at-time-of-cabin-fire

Quote: "A source close to the situation says no one was on the island at the time of a cabin fire on Lake of the Woods today. The fire started on one of the small islands between Scotty's and Middle Island in Kenora late this afternoon. No cause of the fire has been identified, but the source added power at the cabin was off at the time of the fire. They also noted the fire may have spread to a neighbouring island."

Note: Heh, that's gotta be a puzzler for investigators - nobody on the island, no power to the cabin, and yet it still went up in flames. Must've been something rusty in the area, or there was something flammable and adsorbent around, like wood the cabin was made with, or upholstered furniture, rugs/carpet/curtains, paper/cardboard or clothes. Anything like that and fire can break out now. If there's any electricity around then fire breaking out is even more likely, but it's not necessary. So any home that's made with wood/nails or which contains anything rusty, or which contains wood, clothes, paper, cardboard, rugs/carpets/curtains or upholstered furniture can go up in flames at any time, just like this cabin did. That's a civilization-ending problem all by itself, and it's just one of many...
