The security men on obligation instantly alarmed flame warriors, yet they arrived the scene around 6am."

"Well I can't give you certainties, however judging from all that has happened here since, we can't determine the reason for the flame, this flame began around 2.am. This is regularly a business situation; there is no probability anyone could have been here to determine how it began, yet some said it started from the electric post, and giving the way that there is gas around, it helped the flame to raise. The data did not get the opportunity to shop proprietors until around 5am."
