The Mail reported that they're trying to avoid water as much as possible to keep from destroying what is below. What's above is gone.
I call BS.
Just an excuse to let it burn.
I seriously doubt that. A fire above, destroys below as well, given the extreme heat. I’m thinking this is an example of extreme incompetence and no real pre-plan for this type of event. I could be completely wrong, since we don’t know the details..... time will tell. Didn’t appear a decent response really got going till almost 2 hours after the fire. No excuse if that becomes a fact.
