Mall Fire

Well, the wack job that decided to burn down the GameStop store in the Galleria Mall in Roseville, CA also managed to destroy a whole wing of the mall where my AD is. The store manager, who has also become a good friend, is now out of work for the foreseeable future. The entire mall will be closed until they can clean up the mess, putting hundreds of people out of work. What was this guy thinking

First and foremost I wish the AD and his family the best. Now, pyro I can speak from experience working around knuckleheads like him. This guy lacked meds. But soon he'll get the finest care. No generic drugs for him. The expensive stuff. The suspect is wanted in possible connection to other fires in the area. I'm glad nobody was hurt.

Sorry for the bad joke buddy.
Wouldn't wish for it either, and i'm really glad that everyone got out in time.

Yes, injuries or deaths would have made this much worse. However, the forecast is rain for the next few days, with does not help with the clean up since the roof collapsed.
