The simplest of comments, yet often the true one. New constructions are extremely vulnerable to fire. Unless you can teleport a lake on top of it, it will burn to the ground.
I wonder how the insurance industry structures the fire insurance policy for these construction sites. I don’t expect the voyeurs from CBS to ask these kinds of questions.
That was done on purpose. Many people were against this project. Many people in Redwood City along Middlefield, behind the Fair Oaks hospital for the low-income housing. They didn't want it, so they burned it down
I don't blame them. I wouldn't do it myself because I have too much to lose, but I don't blame them. That's the only way because otherwise the town will get sued for discrimination if they try to stop these projects.
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 Only a vile person would admit to wishing they could burn down affordable housing.

This looks just like the fire that happened at a very similar building in Las Vegas about a year ago. Same built building style, same phase of construction, started on the upper floor.
Putting water on the main structure is just wasting water at that point. All the firefighters can do is cool down adjacent structures and put out spot fires started by flaming debris and embers. The main structure will be 80-90% consumed by fire, then they might be able to extinguish the last bits of it as the fire begins to run out of fuel.
The fire department is doing this correctly. They are cooling the outside shell in order to contain the flames to the inside. Then it will (hopefully) collapse into itself, and allow cooling of the remains. As per prior comments, it is the flammable insulation which is feeding the speed. Wood by itself will not go this fast. Due to the inside column, it creates its own fire tornado upward, since there is air available coming in from the bottom openings. Even if there were metal columns inside, these will be weakened and will have to be replaced. Also seeing fire upwards through the elevator or safety column area, which means this building is not safely or correctly constructed. The local winds are very mild, have nothing to do with this burndown.
That’s what I was thinking, no way near completion, you would think steel structure and concrete would be required for a 5 story building, seems like a lot of combustible material for flames to be 20 feet above the top floor. Difficult to fight for the first responders and needing to protect nearby buildings as well, many potential sources of ignition, have to wait for the fire marshal to investigate
Well If you made your building out of steel and concrete then you won't loose so much of it. But you will never learn when all you do is build this type of building out of timber, this is what happens, and you loose the whole site.
Oh, terrible! So desperately needed, too. We shall have to see what investigators say was the cause. / I was driving south on El Camino Real in San Carlos and my boyfriend and I were joking that it must be an EV setting off a parking lot or dealership. If only.
Oh, Terrible, there is a fire of construction supplies. You shouldn't tell people it's more dangerous than completed building would have been. You discredit yourself, sir. Edited for spellchecker mistake
Oof, erbody talking about arson, who benefits from this? The builder who may have insurance? Or the other apartment complex owners that don't want to see rental prices go down when housing catches up with it's own deficit? Or both?
Look at the highly flammable insulation sheets. That's what is feeding the fire speed. This should be an illegal construction, using dangerous materials. Something very fishy here.
What kind of flammable materials were they using to construct the buildings? If these buildings were finished and fully occupied...and a fire started in one of the apartments...it might have killed a lot of people.
@@missd369you are correct i was installing the fire sprinkler system in this building. We were not finished but if it was finished it would have put this fire out
Concrete and steel... no timber... Five over one construction... Fire trap. **************************************************************************************

Californians can relax because the owners all have plenty of insurance and tons of cash to pay for all this. The Owners will not be homeless and/or going hungry.
It was most likely Federal and/or State subsidized... kind of like Solar and wind farms, there is a Tax Credit program for low-income housing... so they got Loans based on Government Backing, probably got City Planning Waivers... so could it be possible they might not have to pay back the loans and they'll profit off the fire insurance?... the only losers are Taxpayers...

I haven’t even looked at the comments but I am going to as I wonder what takes people have. Right from the get go, I got the bizarro vibes about this.

Arsonists know that fires at this stage of construction can't be extinguished.
Wow
Could be an insurance scam
Multiple seats of fire, it's arson...
That was done on purpose. Many people were against this project. Many people in Redwood City along Middlefield, behind the Fair Oaks hospital for the low-income housing. They didn't want it, so they burned it down
It was a NIMBY.
if they rebuild it will burn down again
Russian sleepers have been setting fires in Sweden, Norway, throughout Europe to sow chaos in our free societies, so don’t discount that possibility.
I don't blame them. I wouldn't do it myself because I have too much to lose, but I don't blame them. That's the only way because otherwise the town will get sued for discrimination if they try to stop these projects.

Someone didn't want any affordable housing around them.
Affordable Ashes
With the collapse of the commercial real estate market, I will expect to see more of the "fires"...

The firefighters are doing marvelous job considering th circumstances. It appears a if an accelerant had been used.
Natural disasters and fires are so scary. Thank you for sharing videos for everyone to see this scene.
Odd. So much water NOT going onto the fire.
It's a loss, probably containing it from other structures.

Its a tragic mess. But the weather today prevented any chance of "bad" air.
One of the clearest days all year.
What started the fire to begin with.
Somebody just created some really bad karma for themselves

Thank you for your comment. There has to be a way to put these things up in canisters or blocks that will actually contain a fire.
No wonder!! why insurance are leaving Ca.
A lot of those materials are supposed to be Flame retardant.

I believe we have someone starting fires
This happened in Oroville. A bum was arrested. Security was set and the project was rebuilt to the finish.
San Jose be gettin hits off RC
This is hilarious ...news-team are more concerned about a short term air quality issue than any injuries to firefighters.
Now they have rebuild it.......that's called job security.

Metal stud framer here. This is why you don't build apartment buildings out of wood!
Well If you made your building out of steel and concrete then you won't loose so much of it.
But you will never learn when all you do is build this type of building out of timber, this is what happens, and you loose the whole site.
I warned that one person not to smoke on site.
Another isolated incident 🔥
These construction sites should be required to install temporary fire sprinkler systems.
Just another stupid regulation that will force the cost of housing higher. Wake up California.

Thermite gets really hot and it's hard to put out.
It's also expensive and would have been stupid to use for this purpose when a Bic lighter is just as good.
Arson.
Was it not up to code?
utterly worthless fire response, all water landing on the ground, doing nothing to put fire out. Major FD failure top to bottom
Somebody check the hold downs
No accident. Either insurance fraud or arsonisttt

Yes

Not low income housing. illegal people housing was the intention.
