    The reporter called it "the Swift... plant"
    Yes, she hesitated as she was speaking. She didn't know what to call it.
    I guess someone should inform them that it is a terminal.

    I have a conspiracy theory about the fire.
    But that is just my own twisted mind at work, so I won't tell you since it hasn't been brought up yet.

    Negan lit the fire. No, Glen. No, Darryl. Maybe Abraham.

    I wonder if any of the on board cameras caught anything suspicious. Or maybe..... One of the cameras caught fire and now Swift will quit installing them......... Ha. Yeah right.

    We may be told it was an improperly installed inverter.
    After all, it's been known to happen.

    Well yeah, but if those are the empty trks going to auction or in the detailing area, then no one should have been using an inverter because the truck would have been empty. Besides, if those are company trks, then most likely they would have had an inverter installed, unless it was for a sleep apnea person, and then Swift would have installed it, and you know how those mechanics never made mistakes of any kind no matter what they are doing.

    Maybe a homeless person snuck into one, got cold, lit a fire to keep themselves warm, and well became a toasted marshmellow instead?

    Duh? its so simple really, great detective work Homes!

    I was at the Phoenix terminal taking the flatbed tiedown course and the body shop caught a trailer on fire somehow. Lots of black smoke from the tires produced a nice high smoke cloud, very dramatic at the time to see all the fire engines show up!
