Disgruntled employee in California decides to burn warehouse down and film it

Well he could have gotten another job instead of complaining about his pay.

29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested on arson charges for setting a Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire.

Been there many times over the years - just south of the big truck stops in Ontario. Warehouse is mainly the staging area for their shipments overseas - we brought a lot of product there from their big plant in Ogen UT, Tucson AZ, and Paris TX. Also hauled imported raw materials back to the plants from that warehouse. They said in the report it was a small fire until it suddenly got massive and they had to get out of the building - dude did something in their hazmat staging area.

Will be interesting to see how Cali prosecutes him. Arson, reckless endangerment, probably environmental stuff as well.

I am more curious to what Cali marshals do to require more fire suppression

Looks like it was paper towels that he lit on fire. If it’s a 3Pl, who knows what else was in

I wonder what happens when all their electric forklifts caught fire.

They must have taken his stapler.

“All they had to do was pay enough to live….”

Now none of the employees are making money, and this idiot is living for free, in jail.

What a dumbass!?

Given its California, slim chance he gets punishment commensurate with the direct and indirect damage he’s caused. Reap what you sow.

I would assume they had sprinkler systems integral to the pallet rack. Any landlord and insurance company would require it given the inventory

Didn’t the same thing happen in New Orleans, Circuit CIty warehouse? Was a massive fire.
