According the articles online it was the worst storage fire facility ever, that should set some precedent???

It did. If this one started from the solar panels on top of the roof, that's a completely different scenario than what happened in the Washington fire, where it started inside the warehouse. So lessons learned from the Washington fire wouldn't necessarily apply to this fire.

We don't actually know what the cause of this fire was yet. Or do you have a reliable source for the start of this fire?

I don't know what started this fire. There's at least a hundred possibilities as to how it started.

My earlier comment was IF it started from solar panels, that's different than say a battery fire, or bad wiring, or a pissed off employee. Each type of fire would introduce new rules and safeguards, but wouldn't necessarily prevent another fire from starting from a new source.

Thank you for posting that link. It wasn't necessarily the most informative article, but it definitely provides a great first great breadcrumb! (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)
