    I read that they turned off the fire suppression system to try to avoid damaging inventory while fire fighters tried to put out the fire.

    Perhaps there’s a chance that the insurance company will try to use that to avoid paying off the claim.

      Correction: The arsonist set some small fires, which triggered the sprinkler systems, which had firefighters come to turn it off and try to prevent water damage.

      They then set about 4 bigger fires away from any prying eyes with the sprinklers turned completely off, which spread so fast that the firefighters present declared it a lost cause and called for reinforcements.

        Interesting. I wonder if the exact method may become common knowledge, helping force Walmart to consider paying a living wage…
