Aww that's sad :(
[QUOTE=DrLuke;17183557]They decided to let it burn down? That's kinda assholeish... or was there any reason for it?[/QUOTE] Because the fire, smoke, and water damage becomes so extensive that it would not be worth to save it.
oh god. i hope all the pizzas got out okay
Not the pizzas /caps
Insurance pl0x.
Reminds me of the time when a furniture store in the center of the city I live in caught fire. [url]http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/Photo-Stories/Weekend-Fire-Destroys-Landmark-Furniture-Store-in-Taunton--Massachusetts/45$27001[/url] It was an old 6-story building that was built in the early 1900's (we had been to the store before it burned down to buy a new couch, the place was so old that the elevator had no buttons, only a lever that you had to pull to move it up or down and a manually-opened gate as a door), and the furniture store had been in business since 1908. Anyway, some fucktard started a fire in a dumpster behind the building, which spread to the store. It took not even 20 minutes for the fire to engulf the entire building (because of a combination of the age of the building and the fact that it was filled with highly flammable furniture). The fire got so hot that the buildings around it suffered heat related damage. All of the plastic parts of two gas pumps at a gas station across the street from the building literally melted into goo (thank god the thing didn't explode). We started watching it about 10 minutes after the firefighters showed up, but we actually had to move back after 20 minuets because of the concern that the gas pumps could explode.
They'll have [b]burnt[/b] pizzas arriving at your doorsteps.
Pizzeria doesn't usually burn without an reason. I think he couldn't sell it and manage enough money so he burnt it.
It'za pizza pie! I love how the fire fighter just sits back and relaxes. [editline]04:45AM[/editline] It was probably arson.
get a webcam and live stream it.
"Luigie, What do we do?"
Ask if they have battletoads.
[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;17184224]I like how that one firefighter is just kicking back on the ground. Nothing like watching a building burn to the ground while you just chill.[/QUOTE] They were letting it burn down anyway, also there were other firefighters there. He actually ate an apple, and when he was done he threw the rests into the house, bouncing off the roof and into the fire.
ahah pizza-licious :v:
wait wtf the firemen aren't doing shit? well it looks like it at least, especially the chillin one

Why is it soo popular in the states to build houses out of wood? From what I've seen they don't stand up well to natural disasters, tornado's, hurricanes, flooding, fires etc. I know its cheaper to build from wood, but would it not save money insurance-wise to build from brick? Genuine question. Don't anyone go starting a pond war.
Well I agree
I also agree.

And maybe it started because of the huge amounts of lumber in the area and settlers needed to quickly build houses.

I can only think of ONE building I've ever seen in the UK that was made of wood, and that was for a ecological development project-type-thing, (other then sheds etc of course). I suppose there is a lot of wood around so its easier, though I'd probably still make my house from brick just to feel safe. Probably some kinda 3 little pigs and the Big Bad Wolf complex.

[QUOTE=Earthen;17197857]myes, but my point stands[/QUOTE] As I believed I already told you, it was under control by other firemen
I don't think I ever seen a wooden house myself apart from the fake ones at Disneyland. Anyway, have they been arrested if it was a insurance job?
awesome.
