School Fire over 20 Years ago Ruined its Renovation

This video is of a elementary school which was almost finished with an extensive restoration that was set on fire by an arsonist. It occurred over 20 years ago, but is worth a look back at the firefighting operations that were used back then. Many of the firefighters that fought it went to school there and expressed how difficult it was to see it go up in smoke.

The arsonist has one thing to look forward too - there's a lot of fire in hell.

... hm-mm... "extensive renovations..."

"arson"? ...renovations are by bid.

"extensive" work is not what contractors like to

hear from their managers 'n foremen...

over runs are bore by the bidder contracted...
