Ok, just a quick intro. I started out just looking into the fire at Fisherman’s Wharf because I am currently working on an article about San Francisco. Wow, did I open a door. So much to research. I am worn out. This is a timely item so I felt lead to get it out quickly.
I warned you that April and May were going to be bad. Actually, I don’t know that things are going to be good at any time this year. But, this time right now is a BIG TIME for BAAL and those who serve/worship him. It is a time of FIRE sacrifice, torment and terror.
I recommend that you start keeping an eye on your local area in relation to spiritual things. 2020 is a big year, as I have mentioned repeatedly. I expect thing to continue to escalate.
I found many more fire related items just in a very small area during a very short time frame. What happened in your area this last few months? Any major fires or explosions?
Well, without further ado, here is what I found. I hope it gets you thinking.
UPDATE: Apparently, there were crew members on the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, and apparently that ship is not only capable of running but it regularly takes tours out into the Bay. SO, tell me, why did they not just move it out of the way so that the fire boats could get close to the Wharf and possibly save some of the Million Dollars worth of fishing equipment??
I tell you what, it is shameful and sickening how the TALKING HEAD MEDIA is making this entire event all about that SHIP! Fawning all over the Fire Department and the Crew for “SAVING” the ship. Making the public feel all warm and toasted about that, and forgetting what was lost. Not giving any time or attention to the fishermen who have lost so much, the homeless people who may have perished, the dock workers who are not out of work or the food supply that has been struck with another massive blow.
I am sorry, I don’t know, it may not be a new phenomenon, but lately I have been noticing Elite/Government/Military exhibiting an excessive interest in resurrecting old Warships. When I get some time, I am going to look into that. There must be a reason.
end of update.
Just a cursory check on wikipedia produced the following. I found it very interesting.
The following is a list of fires that burned more than 1,000 acres (400 ha), or produced significant structural damage or casualties.
I also found the following response to a search. When I opened it I found myself on a map that I did not have time or patient to figure out. I save the link, it had enough to be worthwhile. Chek out the dates.

Twopeople were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of running a lab to extract THC from marijuana after an explosion blew off about half the roof of a San Leandro warehouse and wounded twoothers allegedly involved in the operations, authorities said.
Officials responded around 4:40 a.m. to a report of an explosion at the commercial warehouse on the 1700 block of Timothy Drive near Interstate 880 and transported two people with non-life-threatening injuries to a local hospital, said Lt. Ted Henderson, a San Leandro police spokesman.
One of the victims had a broken arm.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of manufacturing hash oil illegally, and authorities planned to arrest the other twoafter they were treated at the hospital, Henderson said. He added that authorities were still trying to determine whether the lab had a license to operate.

Crews on scene for an explosion at a commercial building in San Leandro on the 1700 block of Timothy. Cause is under investigation. No injuries. Full update coming soon.
Henderson said he did not know exactly how the explosion occurred, but the process of extracting THC from the marijuana plant required butane, which caused the explosion. Fire officials said the blast sent debris about 2,000 feet down the block.
“Probably half of the roof is blown off,” Henderson said. “It was not small. … We have a few hours that we are going to be out here.”
Investigators were also trying to determine whether the building was up to code and whether it had working fire alarms.
Responding to Covid-19 problems and the toll of homelessness, firefighters in L.A.’s Skid Row know a thing or two about disaster. The Boyd fire, though, shook them, too.

Thehuge explosion Saturdaythat shook Los Angeles’ downtown area known as the Toy District, between Skid Row and Little Tokyo, was only the latest calamity for a fierce team of firefighters that has been dealing with multiple disasters, every day.
For years, Fire Station No. 9 — tucked between Wall Street and San Pedro Street in Skid Row,with its relatively young group of staff — has served a population that has exploded into what is now universally known as a crisis — a crisis of addiction, people without homes, and mental illness.
That crisis tragically has helped make the 121-year-old station (just blocks from Disney Halland the Staples Center) — one of L.A.’s 106fire houses — one of the most action-packed around. A Firehouse Magazine survey in 2018 of 258 (22 8 5 8) stations in the U.S. and Canada found that 9 was the busiest fire station in the United States, with 33,380total calls in 2017— a 22% increase from 2015.
While it’s among the smallest districts in the city — at just shy of 1.3square miles — its 63 assigned personnel faces huge call volume, often forcing the station’s 21first-responders working each 24-hour shift to become primary care for a massive concentration of people experiencing homelessness.
That load has grown rapidly.
In 2014, there were 5,411(11)fire department emergency responses in Station 9’s tiny district. In 2019 there 21,431 (11), according to the Fire Department.
The Rev. Andy Bales, the president and CEO of the Union Rescue Mission, which serves Skid Row’s homeless, sees the calls every day.
“They are the busiest fire station that I know of in the world. And they are likely the busiest at-risk fire station that I know of in the world,” he said.

Bales, whose Rescue Mission is within a five-minute walk to Fire Station No. 9, said for years the station has served a growing homeless population with ailments that run from heart problems to diabetes to crime to the toll of addiction.
Weaving through the area’s littered streets, firefighters respond to stabbings, drug overdoses, and shootings in downtown’s most vulnerable areas. And they’re often there when a person is breaking down — physically and emotionally. There also are the floodings, and other calamities that happen in such a condensed urban setting. Station 9 responded to 109 structure fires in 2019,(19/2/19) many in the high-rise residential and industrial buildings that dot metro L.A.
“They’re going where few will tread to rescue people devastated by homeless and all the complications that come with that,” Bales said. “Now, they are even more at risk with the Covid-19 disaster.”
That (COVID 19) disaster has brought new dangers into Skid Row, where first responders are dealing with among the worst fears of public health officials: crowded and unsanitary environments, where community spread of the virus is a top concern. It was unclear how many, if any, from Station 9 have tested positive for Covid-19, but the Los Angeles Fire Department has a total of 28 members who have tested positive for the Coronavirus.
On top of dealing with the virus’ public health toll came Saturday night, May 16, shortly after 6:30 p.m. in Station 9’s district.
Firefighters were already en route when dispatchers received confirmation of heavy fire coming from a smoke shop on the 300block of Boyd Street in downtown Los Angeles at about 6:37p.m. Saturday.
Firegfighters were retreating through walls of flame. The fireball was chasing them down the ladder.Firefighters were themselves on fire,having to throw off their scorched turnouts.
Still reeling from the injuries to 12Station No. 9 firefighters over the weekend — the station’s team was reluctant Monday to talk publicly about how they’ve been impacted. They were all recovering, with minor to moderate burns for most, but with one firefighter suffering severe burns, officials said. Each have varying time lines for when they will recover. Threehave been released from the hospital.
But the department’s spokesman, Capt. Erik Scott, said over the weekend that the injuries that trauma of Saturday lingers even as the 12injured recover.
“This is a hard hit that will not be forgotten for Station 9,” he said. “It’s a difficult time for our fire family. Our No. 1 concern is to take care of the injured as well as the mental health of the firefighters who were on the scene.”
Bales, who often has to deal with many of the issues being seen every day, echoed Scott.
“They’ve been our heroes for a long time,” he said.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said Sunday it may call on federal help for its probe into Saturday night’s massive fire and explosion downtown that injured 12 firefighters, including twowho remain in critical condition.
“This is certainly one of the most significant incidents that our department has gone to in recent history,” Capt. Erik Scott, the department’s spokesman, told LAist.
Scott said the department’s Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section was working with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes division.
“There’s discussion that we might even bring in (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) if needed,” Scott said. He said investigators were spending Sunday combing through debris, looking at burn patterns, talking to witnesses, and examining surveillance footage.

Asked whether the department suspected arson, Scott said “there’s nothing to indicate a suspicious cause at this point, but that’s all under active investigation.”
Three firefighters have been discharged from Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center. Eightare still being treated, including twoin critical, but stable, condition. A 12th firefighter was treated in the emergency room and released Saturday for a minor injury.
Firefighters responded to a call at Smoke Tokes Warehouse Distributor on Boyd Street near the intersection with San Pedro about 6:30p.m. Saturday. After they entered the building, there was what a fire department spokesman called a “significant” explosion.
LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas said the incident had shaken many in his department.Authorities said the injured firefighters were trying to reach the origin of the fire when the explosion took place.
“A lot of our firefighters were traumatized. I spoke to them directly, and they’re holding up. But when one of your own is injured…you can imagine the amount of emotional stress.”
Terrazas, speaking at a news conference last night, said what he knew about the lead-up to the explosion was based on an account by a member of Station 9, whose firefighters were the first to respond.
“We’ll have a more in-depth significant incident investigation team look at this incident to learn everything possible, so that we can learn from this event and share this information with all our firefighters within the LAFD as well as throughout the region,” he said.

Firefighters brought the fire Saturday night under control in about 90 minutes, with more than 230 personnel working the incident.
Scott said there were canisters of butane and CO2 inside Smoke Tokes Wholesale Distribution.
“Butane being highly flammable is what certainly added and fueled those flames to come out,” Scott said. “The explosion has spread those canisters in at least a two block radius.” He said preliminary information indicated that Smokes Tokes supplied butane honey oil and other materials for “cannabis-type operations.”
He said investigators were looking into a September 2016 fire connected to Smoke Tokesat a “slightly different location.” That fire, at 330 E. 3rd Street, took about 160firefighters more than two hours to extinguish.
In that incident, according to the 2016 news release, firefighters “forced entry into Smoke Tokes,” where they found “intense fire in dense and highly flammable storage that included pressurized flammable gas cylinders, several of which were heard to explode.”
The 3rd St. address appears on a map to be a block behind the location of Saturday’s fire.
On Saturday night, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti expressed the relief the city felt after learning that all the injured firefighters were expected to recover.
“We were all, I think, frightened when we heard the initial news and raced here as quickly as possible,” he said at a late evening news conference. “We got a lot of firefighters that are shaken up. And we have, of course, social workers and our departmental mental health professionals to make sure everybody’s okay.”
Station 9, where the injured firefighters are based, serves the downtown area, including Skid Row. The station was profiled this year by our friends at KCET, with a behind-the-scenes look at the very busy firehouse:
Eleven firefighters suffered burn injuries when they escaped from a burning building through a ball of flames Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. (11 passed through the flames – Beltaine in the City of Angels)
A twelfth firefighterwas injured and released from the hospital Saturday night. All injured firefighters were expected to survive. They were inside the building in the 300 block of East Boyd Street around 6:30 p.m. when the blast rocked the neighborhood south of Little Tokyo.
LAFD Capt. Erik Scott said the explosion created a fireball that continued to grow to at least 30 feet high and 30 feet wide. Witness video showed fire and smoke climbing above the building.

“Firefighters had to go straight through that ball of flame to get to safety across the street,” Scott said.
People nearby felt the fiery eruption and even reported metal debris flying through the air.
“It was a big jolt when it exploded,” Rick Serafin, a witness, said. “It felt like an earthquake jolt. It was huge.”
When one of your own is injured, you can imagine the amount of mental stress. – LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas
Dr. Marc Eckstein, medical director for LAFD and physician at the center, said all 11 firefighters would remain at the hospital overnight for observation and all were expected to survive their injuries.
Eckstein said they all arrived at the hospital awake and alert, but two firefighters were put on ventilators due to smoke inhalation and four were sent to the intensive care unit for burns. Most of the burns, he said, were on their upper extremities.
As of 9 a.m. on Sunday, three firefighters had been discharged from the hospital, according to officials. Eight firefighters remained hospitalized Sunday morning including two in critical but stable condition. Another firefighter was treated and released at the emergency room Saturday night for a minor extremity injury. ( two + four = 6 9/3 make 6/6 = 666) (8 is death and infinity and it is multiplied when we add 2)
The two firefighters who were intubatedwere off ventilators, the LAFD said Sunday evening.
3:07 LA Mayor, Doctors Say All Firefighters Expected to Survive After Building Explosion
Three of the 11 firefighters suffered critical, but not life-threatening, injuries. Kim Tobin reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. Saturday May 16, 2020.
Garcetti said, “The good news is that everybody is going to make it,” but he added, “We have a lot of firefighters who are shaken up.”
LAFD Chief Ralph M. Terrazas said the “mayday” call, which is used only when a firefighter is “down, missing or trapped,” was “the kind of call I always dread.”
He said the injured men, who were from Engine No. 9, realized something was wrong when they were inside the building but could not escape in time to avoid the blast. Their fire engine parked outside was charred, and the aerial ladder was damaged — with eyewitnesses saying that firefighters on that ladder climbed down with their coats on fire.
Knowing that some were injured, Terrazas said many other firefighters from the scene were traumatized from the event.

“When one of your own is injured, you can imagine the amount of mental stress,” he said.
The building that initially caught fire was Smoke Totes Warehouse distributor, “a supplier for those that make butane honey oil,” Capt. Scott said.
The process of extracting honey oil, concentrated THC from marijuana, involves the use butane, a flammable odorless gas, and is illegal in California.Several butane canisters were found at the scene, the LAFD said.

2:08 What to Know About the Business at Center of Downtown LA Fire
The NBC4 I-Team tracks the history of the smoke shop business at the center of the fire that injured 11 firefighters in Downtown LA. Eric Leonard reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. Saturday May 16, 2020.
The business has been operating at the site for at least a decade and has number of locations in downtown LA.
Certain locations that store any significant amount of regulated or controlled materials are required to display placards on the exterior to indicate what’s inside, providing a warning for firefighters. The placards use a code system to provide information that helps firefighters decide how to approach the fire.

More than 230 firefighters responded to the fire, and firefighters had moved to a defensive posture for the fire attack, the LAFD said. Several Los Angeles Police Department vehicles were also visible at the scene.
The fire was knocked down in about two hours, Scott said.
It was not immediately known what caused the initial fire or the fiery explosion that followed, but the department said the cause of the fire would be heavily investigated.
Boyd Street will be closed between Wall Street and San Pedro street indefinitely due to the investigation, the LAFD said. Residents, employees and business owners will not be able to access the block until further notice, the department said.

That lead produced a blurb about the following fires… much smaller, but no less relevant. Right now producing a FIRE for BAAL is all that is important to his followers. These fires were not accidents.
A fire early Tuesday (5/19) morning caused major damage to a Richmond church that’s been shut down since the shelter-in-place orders took effect, but the church’s pastor said he’s just thankful nobody was injured.
“I was praising God no one was here, that it was this time of morning, that the church was shut down and that nobody was hurt,” said Bishop Billy Wydermyer, Bethel Church’s pastor for the past 11 years.
The fire at 3429(3+4+2+9 =18) Cutting Blvd. broke out around 4 a.m., and at one point flames could be seen shooting from the 64-year-old church, which was originally built as a movie theater. Noah Browlow, a Richmond Fire Department battalion chief, said the blaze was controlled by about 5:30 (5+3=8)a.m.
The El Cerrito Fire Department and Contra Costa Fire Protection District provided assistance putting out the fire and an investigation is under way, Brownlow said. About 30firefighters battled the blaze.
Wydermyer learned of the blaze when a church deacon called to tell him an alarm had sounded and the building was on fire.Most of the damage was in the rear of the church where a smaller chapel, a dining hall and offices are located, he said. The main part of the church suffered damage to just one wall.
Bethel Church has been vacant and conducting services online since the shelter in place started on March 16, (3/16 or 3+1+6=10 for some reason 10 and 4 seem to be playing a big role in these sacrifices.) Wydermyer said. The congregation will continue to meet online while church officials decide how to recover from the fire.
“Nobody was hurt and the firefighters are all fine, so it’s a good day with regards to life. And that’s what’s important,” Wydermyer said. “We can deal with the material things.”
San Francisco firefighters battled three separate blazes that sparked in just a 10-minute period Tuesday (5/19) night,sending three adult victims to the burn center, officials said.
The fires areall under investigation and it’s unclear if they are related, said Jonathan Baxter, a San Francisco Fire Department spokesman.
The first fire — reported at 11:01p.m. at a home at 625(6+2+5 = 13)Girard St. — injured two adults who were taken to the burn center. The blaze was contained by 11:21 p.m.
Four minutes later and 1.4 miles away, a grass fire broke out beneath Highway 101 near366 Bayshore Blvd., officials said. Northbound traffic on 101 slowed because of the fire, but no structures were damaged. The grass fire was contained at 11:55 p.m. without injuries.
At 11:11 p.m., firefighters responded to a blaze in what they described as “a shed-style structure” near the corner of Wallace Avenue and Ingalls Street, about 1.9 miles from the Bayshore fire and 1.2 miles from the Girard fire.One adult was rescued from thethird fire and taken to the burn center.The blaze was contained at11:53 p.m.
Firefighters battled flames ata commercial building filled with textiles Tuesday morning in downtown Los Angeles.
The fire was reported at about 4 a.m. on Mateo Street near 11th Street. The building contained densely packed rolled textiles piled about 15-feet high, according to the fire department.
The fire was declared a major emergency about 45 minutes later. More than100 firefighters responded and knocked down the fire at about 5:30 a.m.
The fire broke out at about 3:50 a.m. at a warehouse in the 1900 block of South Mateo Street. Los Angeles Fire Department officials described the building as containing rolled textiles.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A major emergency fire broke out early Tuesday(5/19) at a downtown LA building, just a few blocks away from a warehouse that exploded and injured a dozen firefighters.
The fire broke out at about 3:50a.m. at Lavitex Inc. on South Mateo Street. Los Angeles Fire Department officials said the building contained rolled textiles.
LAFD spokesman Capt. Erik Scott described a large warehouse packed full of fabric.
“There are rolled textiles, clothing type material, what we call classic combustibles inside that are rolled and stacked five foot tall times three, so there’s about 15 foot tall combustibles, of which is asignificant fire load,” Scott said.
Scott said crews have gained the upper hand on the flames, had it out by 6a.m. However, they remained on the scene, hosing down racks of textiles to make sure they were no longer smoldering.
The business was not open at the time of the fire, and no injuries have been reported.
The warehouse is justa few blocks from a smoke and vaping shop that went up in flames Saturday and exploded, injuring 12 firefighters, four of whom remain hospitalized. Those firefighters were from LAFD’s Station 9, which also sent an engine to Tuesday’s blaze.
Los Angeles Fire Department crews, summoned at 3:51 AM on May 19, 2020 to investigate an automatic fire alarm activation at a fabric warehouse at 1914 South Mateo Street, arrived quickly to find fire sprinkler activation and heavy smoke showing from a 200′ x 200′ one story commercial block building.
As additional units were requested to battle a working fire, first arriving firefighters forced entry to encounter thick smoke permeating dense storage of rolled textiles as much as 15 feet high throughout the structure.
As their colleagues made their way to the roof to perform strategic vertical ventilation,firefighters inside the building continued in their efforts, using handheld thermal imaging cameras, in an effort, hampered by extended fire sprinkler activation, to find the seat of the fire.
Climbing and crawling among the obstacles created by dense storage of flammable textiles, as well as a loading dock filling with water, firefighters were finally – after more than 90 minutes, able to access a mezzanine area deep within the structure to find and fully extinguish the fire.
No injuries were reported.
Fire loss to Lavitex, a textile wholesaler, is still being tabulated.The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Now, we get to the Fisherman’s Wharf Fire. Wow… I had my suspicions from the moment I heard about it. Now, I am convinced this fire was set deliberately. My opinion, to which I am entitled. When you are done here, I bet you agree with me.
Spacer
It’s A MIRACLE, It’s A MIRACLE! IT’S A MIRACLE!
I can’t believe how they are carrying on about that stupid ship when all those fisherman lost their livilihood and we lost more of our protein supply which is disappearing fast! They are really pushing the narrative about the “Lucky” Ship. IT seems the elite are really into old warships these days. They are hunting them down, digging them up and resurrecting them from the junk yards. I don’t really understand why! I thought War and Nationalism was verboten in this newer, kinder socialist world.
Anyway, the witnesses in this article were on or near the dock at the beginning of the fire. They talk about LOUD EXPLOSIONS (they think they just sounded loud from the echo, but I think they sounded loud because they were big) followed by smoke and flames that filled the air and reached 100 ft high. How does that happen immediately?? I smell rotten something rotten, and it ain’t the fish!
A fire engulfed a warehouse on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf early Saturday, sending thick smoke over the waterfront and threatening to spread to the SS Jeremiah O’Brien before firefighters brought the flames under control. Team coverage from Da Lin and Kenny Choi. (5-23-20)
Investigators say it could take all weekend to secure the scene of a massive fire near fisherman’s wharf destroyed a warehouse and nearly burn down a historical world war two victory ship the flames erupted before sunrise sending up a column of smoke that could be seen for miles the fire happened at the back-end of peer forty-five dial-in spoke with witnesses who called nine-one-one and he has some amazing footage of the fire.
The fires they’ll contained no longer threatening any nearby structures but now with the winds really picking up firefighters are looking out for any hot spots that may pop back up and looking at the big flames from this morning a lot of folks say the ss jeremiah o’brien is a memorial day miracle.
Fire smoke and explosionsamoa witnesses say this intense firefight started out from what the explosion of a small propane tank at four fifteenin the morning actually heard an explosion and fire just reverse it out of the building all I heard was a big old bangand at that and it was it made it lab because at the white house ethical mare cell just arrived at work she helped to evacuate other workers and nearby buildings is scary but,
you know,
I had to act fast and picture called nine-one-oneSay what was a small fire quickly spread and less than five minutes engulfed the building with thick black smoke huge shooting out of the roof I mean it was big it was hot it was really in my face. (I am sorry, fires just do not happen that fast without accelerants! Come on. 100 ft high in a matter of a few minutes? PLEASE! Have we all gotten that STUPID??? This whole thing STINKS of DELIBERATE ARSON! )
the flame shot up about one hundred feet into the sky right now we’re doing with all the surrounding ground from all sides it’s too dangerous for our members not to be in there to fire but sprayed water to prevent the flames from jumping to the ss jeremiah o’brien floating museum which is dark next to the warehouse it’s my professional opinion that without that far but we lost jeremiah o’brien four crew members safely evacuated have very little damage to the world war two warship jeremiah bryant’s been known as the lucky the last liberty ships around and she survived the north atlantic in dday and that was the first reaction it’s a miracle question how intense the fire was or standing about three blocks away from the fire scene and here’s a piece of charred film that flew all the way from the fire see it took more than seven hours to contain the fire the is known as buildings see roughly the size of a football field mostly used to store fishing gear for local fishermen as a parking lot and also contain the office of the sightseeing cruise company red and white fleet workers at nearby building say homeless people often sleep in the warehouseit could have been just some homeless,
homeless folks been careless with,

making their breakfast firefighters are not ready to say who or what caused the fire will be a waffle they can safely the building to look for the cost the fire injured one firefighter is doing okay now in san francisco I’m doll way k pi x fine and is dimension while fire crews battled the flames the warehouse they also did say that historic ship on this memorial day weekend kind of choice is live appear forty-five not too far from the jeremiah o’brien with new video Brian good evening you can see so,
we’ll see some of the smoke and ash drifting behind me near that ship I talked to the captain just a short while ago he tells me it was a miracle that it was not damage and we take a look at some of video early this morning when the flames erupted you could see that ship in the forefront and the flames just behind in the background and you really get a sense of how close those flames were consuming this relic they knew the peer was they could save the structure but they knew they had to save the ship and they they use their fire boats and based poured water on the ship and between the ship in the peer again,
it’s just a miracle are moring lines are didn’t even melt away which I don’t even understand how that could happen considering the intensity of the fire.
Captain tells me that none of the steel on the ship buckled and not even that paints melted off that ship there were four people on board when the flames erupted early this morning coming up tonight at eleven we’ll hear much more about the history of the ship and how involved during the battle at normandy on dday during world war two and how it survived all these years we’ll also hear more from the san francisco fire department and how it’s saved this ship this ship on this memorial day weekend we’re live in san francisco kenny choy pi x five well people who were awake at the time of the fire reported seeing the orange glow of the flames from miles away while they took those photos from just across the water just as the sun was risingalso visible for miles the smoke the thick cloud lingered over the waterfront from most of the morning we were able to smell it here in our studios at broadway and batteries?

“You wake up and realize everything you did your whole life is gone“: Extensive damage from a massive fire on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf is threatening to disrupt the upcoming dungeness crab season. Dozens of crab fisherman lost millions of dollars worth of gear in the fire.
WATCH LIVE: ABC7 News has an update on a massive 4-alarm fire at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf that threatened a historic ship. https://abc7ne.ws/36njwOG
A four-alarm warehouse fire that broke out at Pier 45 in San Franciscohas been contained, the city’s fire department said Saturday afternoon.
More than 150 firefighters battled the fire that destroyed a quarter (or 1/4) of the pier at Fisherman’s Wharf, according to Lt. Jonathan Baxter, a public information officer with the San Francisco Fire Department. The warehouse was destroyed.
The blaze was first reported at 4:17 a.m. (7:17a.m. ET) and was contained to a section of the pier. Flames could be seen in the early morning darkness in photos tweeted by Dan Whaley.
By early afternoon, the blaze was contained.
Firefighters will stay on the scene through Sunday or even Memorial Day to make sure hotspots and active smoldering fires are out, Baxter said at a Saturday afternoon news briefing.
The pier is not far from Pier 39, a popular tourist area.
One firefighter had a severe cut(blood was shed) to his hand and was treated and released from a local hospital, Baxter said. No other injuries were reported.
Crews are investigating the cause of the fire but results will not be available for weeks, Baxter says.
The pier was fully evacuated, as were some nearby businesses, the fire department said.
The fire department tweeted a link to live updates.
The fire caused a partial building collapse on the southern part of the pier, spread to twobuildings on the pier and was in danger of spreading to a third, fire officials say.
The SS Jeremiah O’Brien, a World War II ship based at Pier 45, would have been lost in the fire without the assistance of fire boats, Baxter said.
Fire boat three did an amazing job and “defended our history, specifically on Memorial Day weekend. It saved that vessel,” he said.
“When firefighters arrived, the flames were literally lapping over the Jeremiah O’Brien,” he said, CNN affiliate KPIX reported. “They literally saved the O’Brien.”
Reporter Reyna Harvey of CNN affiliate KRON tweeted video from the scene.
Several other fireboatsalso positioned themselves around the wharf and helped fight the fire.
The warehouse contained a large fish processing operation for the northern California crab fleet, KPIX reported.
The fire department is working with the city’s Department of Building Inspection and the San Francisco Port Authority to determine the structural integrity of the pier.
It remains unclear whether anyone was in the building, which is sometimes used by homeless people, officials said.
Investigators are looking through surveillance footage in an effort to determine the cause of the fire.

A fire early Saturday morningdestroyed a fish processing and storage warehouse at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf and for a time threatened part of the popular tourist area
But firefighters saved the Jeremiah O’Brien, a World War II Liberty ship. (Oh hip hip hooray! God forbid we lose a WWII Warship. Heaven’s that is the thing we should save, forget about all the people who lost their jobs and livelihoods and forget about the food supply that was lost in a time when our food supply is so very precious! Land sakes alive, let’s save the ship! I just want to know why couldn’t just move it out of the way and save the pier??? I mean, I am just a silly old woman, but to me, that would have been the wise thing to do.)
Flames from the blaze shot more than 100 feet in the air and billows of black smoke shrouded the waterfront as 150 firefighters with 50 trucks and other pieces of equipment, including fireboats, fought the blaze on Pier 45, where a large warehouse known as Shed C is home to fishing and maritime businesses. (they did not fight the blaze… they decided there was nothing they could do, that the fire had already spread to quickly to save the warehouse. You can hear them say so on some of the recorded audio.)
One firefighter was injured, with hand cuts. She was treated at a local hospital.
The Jeremiah O’Brien is also moored at the pier. Flames licked at the historic vessel but it escaped with only cosmetic damage, thanks to efforts by firefighters.
Philip O’Mara, senior shipkeeper for the O’Brien, said the ship was in great shape and “just got singed a bit.” O’Mara credited the city’s fire boat, the St. Francis, for saving the day.
“I am very grateful,” said O’Mara, who has worked on the ship for 20 years. “This ship, she’s something else. She’s been through a lot. She’s not going to be taken down by a shed fire.”
Fire Department Lt. Jonathan Baxter credited “our aggressive and quick, swift actions” with saving the O’Brien.
“If you’re looking for one positive,” he said, “saving a historic World War II vessel at the beginning of Memorial Day weekend is something we should be proud of as a community.” (Do you recognize their use of distraction. Do you see how they are working hard to make this all about “Patriotism” which they hate, and saving the Jeremiah!)
The fire was contained at 11:30 a.m., Baxter said, after firefighters spent several hours spraying water on the smoldering debris from the ground and from three aerial ladders.
The fire broke out around 4 a.m. and firefighters rushed to the scene. Although a cause for the blaze has yet to be determined, Baxter said that fire investigators are “looking at the possibility that homeless people were inside.”That investigation was expected to last several days.(Ya, and the only reason they want to prove that there were homeless people inside is so that they can put the blame for the fire on them. They are not worried that anyone died in there or suffered in horror. If they can prove someone was in three… well then, there is your culprit. Sorry, Charlie, no homeless person cooking breakfast could ignite a fire that erupts like a vulcano and engulf everything in an area the size of a football field in SECONDS! )
A fisherman whose boat is docked at Pier 45 said that homeless people hang out in the warehouse and sometimes build fires for cooking. (ya, they cook there often, with not even a small fire.)
Workers were in the warehouse when the blaze broke out.
Lloyd Dizon, a salesman for Aloha Seafood, was taking orders when the fire began.
“It started like a little thing, then the whole structure started,” he said. “A few seconds later, the building started caving in.” (out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall all things be established. I have now heard/read this very same statement from at least three different people…It went up in SECONDS and the flames reached 100 ft, immediately! You tell me what kind of fire does that without accelerants.)
Other workers reported an explosion before the fire erupted. (Again, multiple witnesses.)
Alejandro Arellano, who works for La Rocca Seafood, was cleaning out a fish storage locker.
“I saw a lot of smoke. A few minutes later, fire everywhere,” he said. “It was very, very scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Hours after the fire broke out, about two dozen workers from the warehouse, many still wearing their yellow fish-processing aprons, gathered behind Alioto’s restaurant to watch firefighters pour water on the collapsed shed. They showed each other cell phone pictures they had taken of the fire and wondered when and how they will be going back to work. (So there we have it. The so called experts stated that they were not aware that ANYONE had been in or near the Warehouse at the time of the fire. So they either lied, or did not care enough to find out!.)
The streets around the pier were almost paved with yellow hoses, some stretching for as many as four blocks to a hydrant at Beach and Taylor streets. Firefighters from at least a dozen(12) trucks were spraying water on the blaze, with three ladder trucks drenching the warehouse from 50 feet above.
The first call came at 4:15 a.m. Truck 13 from the Sansome Street Station in the Financial District was the first on the scene, and fast action by its crew prevented the fire from spreading, Baxter said.
The truck company nearly paid a heavy price. Flames from the blaze rolled out and singed the truck, forcing firefighters to turn their hoses on the vehicle to save it, Baxter said. The truck was slightly damaged, but no one was hurt.
The blaze was confined to the north end of the pier, well away from the Musée Mécanique and its historic arcade games and the restaurants and other businesses in the popular tourist area. (How convenient!)
Kenny Belov, owner of TwoXSea, a sustainable seafood wholesaler in a building only about 50feet from the warehouse, learned of the fire in a phone call from one of his employees at about 4:45a.m. Then his plant manager sent a video taken on the loading dock facing the fire.
“Just breathtaking, (spoken like a pyro)” Belov said. “It was this massive blaze.”
Five of Belov’s employees were in the building at the time, he said, and they all evacuated safely. There was no damage to TwoXSea “as far as I know,” he added.
Belov said hundreds of vehicles typically are parked in the warehouse, mostly a mix of employees’ cars and delivery trucks. (We have not heard anything about the parked cars and how they faired)
Local Fish Industry Threatened By SF Wharf Fire02:25 – 20M AGO
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/AP) — The huge fire that tore through a warehouse at Fisherman’s Wharf has destroyed fishing gear used to deliver about two-thirds of the city’s fresh seafood,threatening to disrupt the upcoming Dungeness crab season, local fishermen said Sunday.
The fire erupted before dawn Saturday and wiped out a warehouse the size of a football field near the north end of Pier 45.

Larry Collins, who runs the San Francisco Community Fishing Association, estimates that thousands of crab, shrimp and black cod traps worth up to $5 million were lost in the blaze.He told the San Francisco Chronicle the numbers could be far higher since port officials changed the warehouse’s function into a storage facility in February because it lacked proper fire sprinklers.
“Pier 45 is the heart and soul of commercial fishing out of the Bay Area,” Collins said. “To take a hit like this, it’s a bad one. Most people don’t think about where their salmon, crab or black cod come from but that’s where: It’s Pier 45.”
The concrete pier is home to a mix of seafood and maritime businesses and tourist attractions, including the Musée Mécanique, a museum devoted to historic arcade games, and the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, a historic World War II liberty ship. They are among numerous tourist attractions on the wharf.
Visitors also come for the Dungeness crabs, clam chowders served in sourdough bread bowls, the sea lions that lounge on the floating docks and shops at Pier 39.

The Chronicle reported that most of the salmon gear was saved because it’s currently on boats. The black cod traps are largely in place for next week.
However, the crab pots that were packed to the ceiling in the warehouse couldn’t be salvaged. With the Dungeness crab season expected to begin in mid-November, local crab boat owners launched a campaign to raise $1 million to buy new gear. Crab pots cost up to $300each.
“We’ve got to get this fixed,” Collins said. “The fleet that fishes out of here is basic to our food security.”
San Francisco Fire Department crews will remain on the scene through at least Monday, a fire department spokesman said.
“These units are tasked with making sure that flare-ups and hot spots stay out,” SFFD Lt. Jonathan Baxter said Sunday on social media. The fire department is working closely with the Port of San Francisco on “multiple topics” related to the fire, Baxter added.
The fire damaged the underside of the pier, Baxter said Saturday, and the pier will be examined by the port officials for structural integrity.
Port of San Francisco officials said initial inspections started Sunday to determine the structural integrity of the pier and its structures.
“Findings will be reported to the public,” the Port said Sunday on social media. “Port tenants impacted by the fire will be kept informed and notified when safe to return.”
Port officials also said Sunday that Pier 45 tenants affected by the fire have been connected with disaster relief resources through the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development.
A four alarm fire erupted on San Francisco’s iconic Fisherman’s Wharf early Saturday morning, CBS San Francisco reports. The blaze started at a warehouse that contained a large fish processing operation on Pier 45.More than 100firefighters responded to towering flames around 4 a.m. local time. Flames began to spread underneath the pier, and the structure began to collapse. Firefighters took a defensive approach, shutting down streets around the waterfront neighborhood.CBS San Francisco reports the fire could be seen for miles,and a large plume of smoke covered much of the Bay.

San Francisco Fire spokesman Jonathan Baxter reported around 6:30a.m. local time that the fire was “still active and four-alarm status,” according to the department’s public updates.
The warehouse is located next to the U.S. liberty ship SS Jeremiah O’Brien, one of several historic warships docked along side of the wharf.
“Firefighters were able to save the SS Jeremiah O’Brien Museum from the flames. The fire is no longer in danger of spreading and is contained to one area of the pier,” he said. “Multiple walls of the building have collapsed. No injuries have been reported and at least 130 firefighters are at the scene working to safely contain the fire.”
“When firefighters arrived, the flames were literally lapping over the Jeremiah O’Brien,” Baxter told CBS SF BayArea. “They literally saved the O’Brien.”
Firefighters had contained the fire to the pier by 7 a.m. local time, but said it would not be fully extinguished for hours

MY NOTES ON ALL OF THE ABOVE..
The Fires in LA were in the area of skid row. Homeless, seniors and low income housing
The butane/marijuana business was used to ignite at least two fires. Guaranteed to explode and spread fast.
They failed once and tried again in LA. Textile warehouse lots of flammable material just down the street.
Seem to have good intel on places that are vacant and/or when no one will be onsite.
Numbers popping 2, 4, 5, 10, 11
It seems that the explosion was triggered once the firemen were inside. They wanted casualties as part of their sacrifice. I don’t think they wanted them dead. Just injured. Blood shed. I believe the ritual here was TRAUMA.
Wall Street is the boundary of the closed area resulting from the fire. This could imply a financial significance to the ritual.
Cerrito means Small Hill
Contra Costa means Against Coast
Girard – This ancient surname is of German and French pre 7th century origins. It derives from either of the popular personal names Gerard or Gerald. “Gerard” comprises the elements “gari” meaning a spear, and “hard” – brave, is very typical of the period in history known as “The dark ages”
Bayshore – once again against the shore? Ritual related to the shore as in Tsunami? Tidal Wave?
Sir William Wallace, the Scottish resistance leader. Who fought for freedom of Scottish people’s against England.
Ingalls – The Ingalls surname is an English name with Norse roots, deriving from either of two Old Norse personal names “Ingjaldr,” or from “Ingólfr” ‘Ing’s wolf’ (Ing was an ancient Germanic fertility god). Some instances of this name in Britain are thought to have evolved from the place name Ingol, in Lancashire, which is named from the Old English personal name Inga with the Old English word “holh,” meaning a “hollow,” or “depression.” Another source claims the name was derived from “a Scandinavian personal name, retained in the designations of Ingleby, Inglesham, Ingleton, Ingoldsthorpe, Ingoldsby, and other parishes and places, lying chiefly in what are called the Danish counties. The Domesday form is Ingaldus.
Mateo – Matthew perhaps a reference to endtimes?
Fisherman’s Wharf fire was “not far from Pier 39,
Why did they not do more to save the FISHERMEN’s livelihood instead of focusing on an old ship??
Why did they feel it necessary to mention 4:17 is 7:17 Eastern Standard time?
Staged for Memorial Weekend to bring attention to their current focus – historical SHIPS.
Processing Center for the Norther California Crab FLEET! This is well known, and the fishermen depend on that warehouse. Their income is lost and so is the harvest for our tables. Not that I eat crab.
Fisherman’s Wharf Warehouse was mostly storage for the fishing fleet and parking. They said most often homeless folks sleep there. They are trying to blame the homeless for the fire.
One CBS video says there were multiple EXPLOSIONS and Flames 100 ft in the air.
I think they wanted everyone far away so that no one could observe their activity.. I would like to see tape of the fire rescue. They are claiming the pier is not yet safe and they will let people know when they can return. What exactly are they doing at the pier?? I want to know.
They said they don’t know if ANYONE was on the pier at the time. Yet they said that homeless people are always sleeping there. They said they are going to look at the tape to see if they can determine the cause of the fire… what about looking at the tapes to see if there were any people on that pier??
I think they used that WWII boat to start or cover up the fire.
Since that warehouse was already blocked on one side why didn’t the MOVE that boat and clear the way for the fire boats to get to the Warehouse??
It had been documented that the warehouse had no sprinkler system and so they could not have fire coverage. port officials changed the warehouse’s function into a storage facility in February because it lacked proper fire sprinklers.
Why was their no areal support for the firemen? And Why didn’t they get the ship out of the way?
Flames shot 100 ft into the air and “billows of black smoke shrouded the waterfront” A shroud is a symbol of death! The Flames rising 100 Ft must have pleased BAAL!
First on the scene: Truck 13 from the Sansome Street Station in the Financial District I was getting the feeling that this ritual has something to do with economy/finance/money/jobs. I am convinced now. And TRUCK 13 seriously!! Sansome means Samson
In LA and in San Fran they kept talking about those areas being where the homeless hang out. I believe this was at least in part to get the homeless out of there. Dead or Alive.

KEEPING THOSE BAAL FIRES BURNING!!! So much easier for them to do while we are all duty bound to stay home and mind our own business!!
30 Fires Burning in Minneapolis tonight. It is still MAY…still considered a sacrifice to THE BEAST!
Minneapolis is in the middle of a third night of unrest in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, with protesters apparently taking over the police department’s Third Precinct building late Thursday. CBS Minnesota has the latest.
Folks, these fires were deliberately set. There is no doubt in my mind. People want to get into an argument about who did it and why. Personally, I believe it is all part of the NWO Agenda. Seriously though, it does not matter who started these fires. Whether it was just an individual, or a group, acting on their own or under orders, no matter what they THINK their motivation might be, the TRUTH is it is all motivated by EVIL SPIRITS! That is just A FACT.
YOU’D BETTER WAKE UP and realize that we are not fighting flesh and blood. THIS IS SPIRITUAL WAR! There is so much more than rights, possessions, power, politics or any of that nonsense, involved here. YOU are in a BATTLE for your eternal soul. EVERYTHING ELSE will pass away! You better hope you don’t live forever in your fallen state. FOREVER is a very long time.
Will you stand for GOD? Or will you stand for BAAL? YOUR CHOICE. There is no other option. GOOD or EVIL. There is no YIN/YANG. You cannot be BOTH. You are either ruled by Satan or ruled by GOD. BOTTOM LINE.
