Waste of resources trying to extinguish it the scale of that fire was beyond containment

[@TheCharles8967]

That was a very hot fire melted the whole building

[@tbo2341]

From the looks of that fire getting that bad out of control must not have been sprinkling systems in the building which I think it's one of Indiana State fire codes for all businesses have to have sprinkling systems including a restaurant at least we do back here in Union county Indiana

[@cowkilla875]

According to news interviews and initial reports done on 3-18-22 they had sprinkler system in place and active it was simply overwhelmed and not rated for taht much material alight.

I’m sure that pump would’ve been cavitation good with all the heads open.
Plus they may or may not have had in rack sprinklers

@@cowkilla875 you got a point there as hot as that fire looks it probably evaporated the water before it even hit the fire.
