fire hits the fan

Well, I guess thats good news for water restrictions! haha

I think that its vandalism, the residents of the 6 apartments affected have not been able to use any of their water facilities for the last 2 days.

good luck finding out who did it, i hope you catch the so-and-sos. one of the recycling bins at my old complex was subject to an arson attack and burnt almost literally down to the ground. no culprits apprehended. owners of the units in the complex stuck with the $600 bill of replacing the bin. vandalism is such a low act.

further – The AFP are treating it as suspicious and deliberately lit.

There was a fire. The fire was contained to the disposal area. Damage occured to electrical, water and sewage carrying pipes in that room, affecting units serviced by those pipes.

Residents put an amount of effort into extinguishing the fire prior to the arrival of the ACT FB, who finished cleaning it up.

Damage is extensive enough to that area, and residents have had to leave the complex.

Restoration work should have begun this morning.

The cause a source of heat or ignition applied to large piles of cardboard boxes sitting in the disposal room, not placed in the hopper.

Whether or not it was an accidental ignition, I’m not sure. There did not appear to be any traces of accelerant. It is assumed to be a deliberate act.

Regardless, it’s stupidity. And i’m hanging to find the person(s) responsible.

The fire was Sunday evening. Some of the bins and other miscellaneia in the disposal area also melted/burnt.

I believe andy was looking for this link to the ESA website – the story halfway down the right side of the page.

In fact it looks like smokey4 pinched the story word for word (cut ‘n paste?) from the ESA site. We don’t like doing that here so if you have a story you would like to let Rioters know about PLEASE link to the source.

So andy, care to enlighten us with more accurate info?

entirely true or not… ewwww!

Where did you get your information from ?
It’s not entirely correct.
