    The heat the last few days probably to blame. Everything is bone dry.

    Heat. Oxygen. Fuel.

    No dry/wet...

    Yes but dry material catches fire quicker than wet. Forest fires, gorse fires etc.

    I don't know if you guys have ever cut a tree down but the blocks have to dry out for a few months before they can be used in a fire.

    So pedantic. Certain types of material obviously.

    Can we move on from the obvious fact that our bit of good weather didn't set these businesses ablaze?

    Until the fire brigade report comes back, I don't think we can rule out the fact that it's been quite dry recently (low humidity) which may have cause some material to be drier and therefore more combustible. Not the only reason but a possible contributing factor.

    I was giving you the benefit of the doubt till the last post re:humidity.

    Mid 70's would be average humidity, the last 30 days has been average 72%.

    Well Heagartys did that before - its what they do. I worked in a business nearby and we would be rocked by the sound of a car being crushed that had petrol in its tank. Door frames were actually "warped" by the blasts a few times.

    You must be joking...You think things will spontaneously combust on a "nice" day of 18-20 degrees tops?
    Recommended office temperatures is 21-23 degrees, do you thin nuala mary and tom from accounts should drop the temperature a tad, lest they burst into flames?

    I never said things spontaneously combust. Gorse bushs for example don't spontaneously combust, but if a spark lands on one and the bush/area is dry enough the fire will spread quicker than it would had there just been a week of rain.

    All I've been saying all along is that perhaps some materials in the scrap/shredding space were quite dry and that's why the fires took hold and spread as quickly as they did.
