On Saturday, “an individual committed arson on a newly purchased ICE building” by breaking a window, igniting a fire and throwing a propane tank into the building, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.
“The fire was quickly extinguished by the interior sprinkler system,” DHS said, noting that the suspect fled the scene after setting the fire. “The matter remains under investigation by the FBI.”
Use a ladder to climb to the top of the building. Break a hole in the roof. Pour in fuel. Match. Set. Go.
Sprinklers are designed to pour down on the fire, not to shoot up at the ceiling.
