I read an article today about how a condo development in Yakima, WA was burned down. Officials are calling the fire 'suspicious' and to be honest, I have to agree with them. Construction began 7 years ago. ATF had been called in to help diagnose what started the fire. I also suspect that they'll be questioning some people affiliated with this development. One of the things I'm sure ATF will question is 'who benefited?' from this suspicious fire?
This is not the first condo relatied fire recently, nor, do I doubt, that it will be the last. I'm sure ATF was brought into this because they are seeing a lot of condo related fires and are treating this as a unique situation.
In this day and age of the condo market, I propose that all condo development related fires be handled by the experts. ATF should always be involved and maybe even the FBI? Should these fires be handled with the same sort of attention as inside trading? I don't know but it's worth developing the strictest rules and sanctions for whomever is responsible for the fire.
