.

building built befor code didn't require them.

most fires start inside (suspicious or not) usaly arson starts outside with an accelerant.

you know given the conditions of most LFS the probable cause was salt creep build up on a outlet causeing a short. but the police say it is suspicious so we will have to wait and see when they are done the investagation.. no sence makeing up stories when we don't have the facts.

This is a pretty sensitive issue that the mods should look at carefully. To speculate as to the circumstances about this fire is one thing, but to post it in the public domain is another.

There is precedent in the states where a BB AND the poster was sued over the content of the posting. It was determined that the BB is also liable for information being posted. Anyone following RDO should be well aware of this. All I am saying is...be very careful.

At this point I think it normal for specualtion about the news heading claiming suspicious fire. Seth has jokingly offered his opinion and I think that is acceptable. The other side is promoting the burden of proof policy and sems like a civil conversation at this point. If I see direct accusations, I will deal with them at the time. Titus can of course decide to pursue this if he sees the need.

so many thing can cause a fire in a fishroom, pump failure, electrical equipment failure of any kind, salt creep shorting something as was mentioned, heck a fish could have splashed and been the arsonist that started the fire....

Well I don't think Seth has lent his opinion in a joking fashion. He has laid out his "opinion" that essentially is casting a cloud of suspicion upon the owners of Aquafanatics. Very very serious.

I have passed on your concerns. Thank you.

argh fine I will just delete my post
didn't know it will get this serious
just my personal opinions
everyone has opinions
i didn't accuse anyone of anything
i'm just saying there's a chance something like that could happen
on the other hand, maybe nothing ever happened, a pump failed or whatever.

Hmm, I follow rdo and see no lawsuits? Did I miss something?

I would think it would be pretty damned tough to bring a suit over something said on a message board and make it stick. Especially when at this point, its all conjecture and speculation. Especially in Canada.

Hell, we all thought the same thing when we read the article... business was poor and the firefighters said it was suspicious. Suspicious makes us all think the owners or staff did it for insurance payout.

If anyone should be sued, sue the firefighters for publicly saying its suspicious.

thanks lostmind
somehow I feel better now

In the states its just rediculious because you can sue over anything such as that person who sued macdonalds for making them fat....In Canada you just can't sue ppl without GOOD and LOGICAL reason that caused harm in someway.
