Owned a small factory for over 20 years. We designed, and fabricated structural steel, that included a Pre - engineered division and a Equine Division. We had a construction company, a different Corporation ,for liberality reasons. We shipped the steel package, went in did the site work, poured the concrete, erected the steel that was our base package. Pre-Engineered Buildings , structural for plain commercial buildings, such as cinder block structures such as Walmart, Schools, towns that have a outside masonry code. Our structure their construct.
My favorite was the Equine division. We would have a person referenced to me or the company and take their ranch and build from the grass up, full blown construction. My military background contacts kept us in more work than we wanted. We worked for the DOD, Department of the Navy, build tons of buildings at twenty nine palms, Marine bass. On and On.
I said all of that so one can understand my comments about melting metals.
We had a con-rack full penetration welds that would build 220 feet wide frames. I am aware of the heat needed to melt that engine block. While not cracking the asphalt road 5-6 feet away. If TPTB are calling this a wild fire why did the trees not catch fire.
