(10,467 posts)in Conshohocken, PA several years back. Biiig complexes of stick buildings. Build along the river. Hey, plenty of water! A little deficient in the firewall department in addition to the matchbook construction. Water pressure a known problem, but what the hey! One day they were working on one of the new sections and poof! some construction tool sets off a fire. Complex under construction burns, jumps to two inhabited structures, burning both to the ground. Something like 170 apartments turned to ash. Happened during the day, so no injuries except two fried fire trucks and countless possessions of people who lived there. Some talk at the time about water pressure and firewalls, but no shortage of houses and apartments made out of kindling.
