Yep it’s just like the titanic Hillsborough 5th alarm fire that happened in New Jersey in 2016 with the lack of water supply problem and it disturbed me today so I prayed against it and I think that’s helped those firefighters contain it!
@@cakezcsgo1686 Our 32 HVAC units are old and tied into the fire suppression system . One would think a Wal-Mart distribution center would be also. They also pretty much run all the time , either in heat mode or AC mode .
Yes and these Walmart DCs have very capable systems with redundant water supplies and redundant fire pumps (diesel and electric) housed in a separate building. Something went wrong or the fire got to something like oil containers or batteries early on before the sprinklers could take hold and overwhelmed the system. The systems are designed to handle this stuff but at the end of the day, it's about life over property and it bought people enough time to get out it sounds like. Once these places go wrong, they go up in an instant.
This centre and the EXACT same thing happens the same week in Taiwan to their 5th largest grocer’s warehouse - both miraculously burn to the ground with not a single injury
That's a bit presumptive. It started on the south side of the building. It had a massive fire load and burned from the south side to the north side over the course of hours.
I’m baffled as to how this fire spread and what started it? I thought there were suppose to be sprinklers installed per code. I worked in a huge warehouse back in the 80’s and they had a sprinkler system throughout the warehouse.
It probably had sprinklers but if it was loaded with merchandise, and stacked to high, the fire load would be to more than what the sprinklers could handle. I'm a firefighter. In my old district, we had all of the stores and malls. We would go inspect their warehouses and storage areas during the holidays. They would have merchandise stacked almost to the ceiling, which is against our fire code.
it appears the fire might have been out water turned off go inside to start a savage except it wasn't all the air rushed in inferno and no amount of firefighting would have stopped it
@@rollint4807 The fire chief stated that it started on the near roof level of the building and some employees tried to put it out, people close to the situation are saying it was a faulty ac unit which probably kicked on for one of the first times this year since it was 70 degrees today.

Scamming the insurance. They never loose money ! It buffs up the chinee where they get all that crap from anyhow. As the chinee abandon container cargo containers to clog ports and raise prices. They are not talking about how they brought in merchandise and left the container. No place left to park them. They'll take them back if they are filled with American top soil ! Otherwise they will build a new one to keep THEIR people working. Since JOE BIDEN works for them and russia. Its a win win for commies.See the big picture !
If I was a shortage of some kind, like a shortage of just about everything in a grocery store, this would be incredibly beneficial to me and unexpectedly helpful. I might be able to graduate from shortage, to outright gone, with this sort of boost!
I'm sure the employees had their personal belongings in their lockers. When they started to escape the fire, who has time to run to their lockers for their keys. You're running for your life. Everything they lost in their lockers is replaceable. This is sad.
The company I work for had a large warehouse fire full of combustible. The sprinkler system was pouring a foot of water out of the dock doors. The fire was contained in that area because of the sprinkler system. I worked in the warehouse all night, long pulling down the flammable material with a loader while the fire department hosed it down and loaded it in a dump truck to be dumped off-site. So, I can't understand how the whole place was engulfed with a fire protection system?
It was probably overwhelmed. There are certain circumstances where a sprinkler system won't be as effective as designed and once it grows to a certain point, it's hopeless. These Walmart DCs all have very capable sprinkler systems with redundant supplies and fire pumps, they are very good systems that meet or exceed code and this building was only 6 years old.
The fire dept turned the pumps off in the first 5 min. They also call the fire under control before that. Listen to fire dept comms here. ua-cam.com/video/8IUWuWb1NSI/v-deo.html
@@lottiesmusicAngelspussycat an a/c unit caught the roof on fire and it was above the sprinklers its' spitting into the wind and a fire above the sprinklers both are useless. If it was Psyop present concrete proof!
Many newer warehouses have trailer locks where a bar locks around the bumper and the release is inside the warehouse. Second warehouses do have fire suppression but most are barely large enough and cannot handle that size fire. I was a truck driver and many warehouses I have been to have sprinklers but most are not powerful enough look at the size of the warehouse the sprinklers would not been able to douse the fire
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had the sprinkler system turned off. Because Walmart distribution centers and their stores love to Overstock and in the warehouses distribution they're constantly moving forklifts around so they probably had it turned off so that it did not ruin any merchandise if it was accidentally ruptured. But the way this fire spread so quickly even without a sprinkler system leaves me to believe it was arson. Nothing about this looks accidental. It doesn't help that the place was jam-packed with merchandise way Overstock Beyond safe capacity and regulations. There really should be a full OSHA investigation along with the fire department but I guarantee you they won't do anything because this is Walmart. Knowing Walmart corporation has entire legal firms just waiting for stuff like this. So it'll be one big gigantic write-off to insurance Walmart corporation actually profits.
Sprinklers were working. Initial reports indicate it looks like a miscalculation by the fire dept. They said they had it under control ans then ordered the sprinklers shut off and the doors opened. Then the fire took off. Sounds like some piss poor fire fighting.
@@jeffhaggarty9879 Having worked in the sprinkler industry for many years, i can imagine this place had 40 risers and 5-6 fire pumps. I can imagine 8,000-10,000 gallons of water per minute being distributed by the sprinkler systems and it got to the point where the fire Chief said "isolate the sprinklers". Turns out that didn't help.
that'll be the excuse. Hell of an excuse, considering the size of the building. Was it in another country where they give no shits about fire suppression systems? Maybe that was the bit that just happened to be malfunctioning when a massive fire broke out devastating trucks and store alike. But it's walmart, and it is their store, so if they throw a ton of money at the problem and make it go away just like the stuff inside that building, whatever.
Probably somewhere on the outskirts of a town east of the Mississippi, judging by the fact that the TV station’s ID starts with a “W”. Gosh, you’d think if they have a functioning news department, they would give a little more information!
I worked in a factory, and you don't just leave. There are station points where employees go and supervisors with names of employees so they can check that everyone is accounted for. You don't just run and speed away in your car. Otherwise, the firefighters have to assume there are potential victims trapped in the building.
I thought I read in another local news article that the employees were bussed on school buses to somewhere down the road. I'm sure once the fire is put out, people will be allowed to go get their vehicles
They were not allowed to take their cars. They couldn't go back for their cars until 9am yesterday (Thursday). They were taken to the Amazon warehouse down the street for their families to pick them up
all large warehouses have a rally area where a head count is done in such cases. Any company does that airlines calls it SOULS ON BOARD, they have to know if not it's also called neglegence
What's up with trucks burning 🔥outside, no burn marks on the building exterior and then the interior engulfed with flames 🔥 🤔 Something isn't right here. 🤔
the trailers that burned was at the docks then the fire spread to others trailers backed up to a wall unless the next trailer was on fire heat then fire burned trailer. And newer warehouses the walls are made to withstand interior fires no marks unless a trailer was on fire
No they were shut off minutes before the fire . Amazing how an entire warehouse a mile long and 80 trailers were all fully engulfed in less then 5 minutes .
Most of the people’s belongings were left inside the building, such as car keys, and phones, they physically couldn’t leave because they didn’t have them.
They actually transported all the employees to an Amazon facility near by since it was an active scene, can you imagine all those vehicles trying to leave with emergency vehicles and fire hoses all over the place plus I'm sure they had to make sure all employees were accounted for and probably some sort of "debriefing" was done to try to find out how it all happened.
A lot of this is going on all over the world... Foodstuffs, consumer goods, equipment, and other large scale distribution warehouses owned by many different companies and corporations are going up in smoke! One might be inclined to think some are possibly intentional to create shortages, thus raising prices to astronomical proportions!
No company want's this shit to happen. I've been watching this investigation because we use it as an example in training where I work. The goal isn't to bankrupt insurance companies, it's to continue moving the various products we handle. That pays off way better in the long run. I'm one of the people looking at this fire to learn how to prevent it at other distribution centers, belonging to any company. My best guess is that this DC handled large amounts of hydrocarbons, but I haven't had that confirmed yet...
when a building is about 2000 ft long and about 300 - 400 ft wide, and as open with storage racks and everything else...... their's no way in hell you can stop a fire with that fire load. those ladder towers are flowing around 1,000 + - gpms, you can see their effect
As the daughter of a retired fire fighter I have seen first hand what happens in situations like this. Yes, it is a HUGE fire. But not only do you have the building itself, you have numerous chemicals, fabrics, as well as plastic and wood. It's not like a small fire you can just use an extinguisher on. It takes time to put out fires because you have to be careful because some materials if you add water to them while burning it makes it worse. They have to prepare their plan of attack on large fires like this.
I have a few questions and concerns about this modern day huge and ferno for one there had to of been sprinklers if there was of never get this big this bad or this fast how does a fire get that big in the middle of the daytime at a occupied building this seems all a little suspicious to me
Sprinklers are a "suppression" system meaning they are meant to suppress a fire not put it out. They are basically so evacuations can be done safely and fire department can be called. The sprinklers did as much as they could considering there were numerous chemicals, fabrics,wood, plastic and many other flammable items in the building. They did what they were designed for.
most car parking area's at warehouse's are away from the truck area because of safety and insurance costs. If car parking is allowed because the truck traffic is so low it would not be a concern. Warehouses like Walmart take 300 docks and 1000 + trailers and 15+ tow motors moving trailers car in that lot would be a big problem
I'm not understand the process of this fire here, at around 2:10 how the side on the bottom of screen is still the way that it is. Not sure of the temperature of fire sciences but with a blaze like that it makes no since these selective areas of seemingly minimal damage. I've had some massive bonfires with all kinds of stuff I probably shouldn't publicly disclose here, but one was with a tree me and a buddy of mine cut down and dismembered, at the end had a fully filled wood teepee about 10-15 ft high. Just don't add up
@@speedtrap420 cheers mate, I'll tell you I pulled up to a car about a week ago, seen infowars ads on bumper and it made my day. Good seeing his message is finally getting rightful dissemination
Because all the employees moved to an assembly area for safety reasons and a roll call and your worried about a car I would be leaving a fire not getting my car. Where is your brain?
Huh.. Taiwan has a major DC (eighth largest in the world) burn up. Now a few days later this one. These facilities don't just become fully engulfed unless there is negligence or intent.
No, any hydrocarbon based material burning releases this black soot. Eg. Dozens of different plastics, foam materials, oils, waxxes, solvents, different rubber compunds etc... Not just tires.
I'm from Dublin Ireland and I hope that everyone is OK and that nobody losses there job because of this hopefully they can move to a different D,C until this one is fixed.
last i heard it was not a store distribution center, but an e commerce fulfillment center. My last job I would go to a many d/c and those are 2-3 times bigger, not the warehouse but the trailer parking area.

a roof fire is hard to detect as you would not smell the smoke as it would be 12 feet or more above you.
Bet those employees who parked their cars away from the warehouse are glad. What awful destruction and miracle nobody was killed.
most car parking area's at warehouse's are away from the truck area because of safety and insurance costs. If car parking is allowed because the truck traffic is so low it would not be a concern. Warehouses like Walmart take 300 docks and 1000 + trailers and 15+ tow motors moving trailers car in that lot would be a big problem

I'm not understand the process of this fire here, at around 2:10 how the side on the bottom of screen is still the way that it is. Not sure of the temperature of fire sciences but with a blaze like that it makes no since these selective areas of seemingly minimal damage. I've had some massive bonfires with all kinds of stuff I probably shouldn't publicly disclose here, but one was with a tree me and a buddy of mine cut down and dismembered, at the end had a fully filled wood teepee about 10-15 ft high.
Just don't add up
Life rookie!
@@speedtrap420 yeah I know, I am a bit of a klod isn't I.
Sorry can't do much very good English for I'm from England
@@markpayne7397 Cheers!
@@speedtrap420 cheers mate, I'll tell you I pulled up to a car about a week ago, seen infowars ads on bumper and it made my day. Good seeing his message is finally getting rightful dissemination
Last remaining K-Mart is smiling somewhere
No more falling prices @ Walmart.
Russia did it...said sarcastically
Yes, it was evil we, who did it! :)
They have protocall for fires. It's not just run to your car. Evacuation areas. God some of you people are clueless.
not some many more then we believe
Talk about food shortages already,,,,this will make it worse!
I believe I have delivered there years ago.
Well, what do you know more shortages.
how are all the cars still parked there?
Because all the employees moved to an assembly area for safety reasons and a roll call and your worried about a car I would be leaving a fire not getting my car. Where is your brain?
I’m disgusted about this.
Huh.. Taiwan has a major DC (eighth largest in the world) burn up. Now a few days later this one. These facilities don't just become fully engulfed unless there is negligence or intent.
This won't help the supply chain crisis.
REMAIN CALM!!!
The quickest way to start a panic is shout-- REMAIN CALM!! (ITS A JOKE PEOPLE)
I just shit myself but I’m almost calm after cleaning up my spill 🤭
Just let it burn! Control the area around the warehouse but it’s all done except the crying.
Can’t believe my job is gone
I'm on the west side of Indy. Very sorry about your job! I'm assuming Wal Mart has relocation plans for all the warehouse employees.
Are you a crisis actor too???
No more Walmart damn it’s my son birthday
check for loose wire connections
I WONDER IF THEY EVER HEARD OF FIRE WALLS AND A SPRINKLING SYSTEM ?
A lot of people don't think that far in advance, most will not think more then 2 seconds past their own life.
I wonder if you've ever heard of fire starting above suppression systems.
At that point there's not a whole lot fire departments can do, that's a lot of fire!
i dont see anything burning
I would guess with all the black smoke, they need a cleanuo in the tire department......probably thousands of tires?
I'm thinking a bunch tires myself.
No, any hydrocarbon based material burning releases this black soot. Eg. Dozens of different plastics, foam materials, oils, waxxes, solvents, different rubber compunds etc... Not just tires.
Weird...who owns walmart? Same guy that had camps here in colorodo!!! Keep an eye on him
no the Walton family still owns Walmart
John Kerry will be phoning Walmart USA and giving them an earful about CO2 emissions. Hell that is a lot of plastic burning though!
Poor poor Walmart
Our company delivers to Walmarts all over the United States where is this distribution center located what state
Indiana
Plainfield IN west of Indianapolis and west of the airport
Monopolies are bad, kids.
Support local businesses.
Absolutely local businesses first!!
I'm from Dublin Ireland and I hope that everyone is OK and that nobody losses there job because of this hopefully they can move to a different D,C until this one is fixed.
Ok 🤔🧐 so why are all of those cars 🚗🚗 🚘 🚗 🚗 in the parking lot, at the 3:00 minute mark? 🤔
What do you think they were hiding ? Could it have been the grocery section .
last i heard it was not a store distribution center, but an e commerce fulfillment center. My last job I would go to a many d/c and those are 2-3 times bigger, not the warehouse but the trailer parking area.
Those are fire sale deals
The Firfighters were on sceen within 3 mins per Fireman giving updates... Wow Something went Wrong but per same fireman they TRAIN for this kinda stuff... REALLY Huston You have a Problem....
Who is Huston?
Get ready for Walmart prices to go up now

Hey WTHR, where is this? A little bit of information in the description would be helpful. You are not a famous enough TV station for everyone to just know where you are!
Plainfield IN west of Indianapolis
Well prices just went up.... again
Wow so sad
Yup
DID RUSSIA DO THIS?
Yep, Putin was seen running from the scene by a reliable anonymous source.
I don't know something don't smell right and it's not smoke.
This people start to play harder. Star to planting in you Yard.
Fire sale guys 😂
Lol
Looks like they need a couple more fire trucks in Indiana call.me crazy.
That's all Indiana has is fire trucks, but everything always burns to the ground. I guess the fire trucks are all at a parade.
@@irritatingindiana886 Stupid comment second time around. Hint, your not a very good comedian.
@@irritatingindiana886 Hey foo, I counted 9 on 1 division. How many do you want?
@@mr.wilson8340 it's TRUE
More fires like this are popping up and fools think that their is noting going on just look around at all grocery stores
And here we're worried about cow farts....
Why do we only see like 3 fire trucks?
Hence the big 🔥
