Thanks to our firefighters on this, lots of people could have lost their jobs. The plywood plant fire a few years back comes to mind.
Accidental fire. Isn`t most fires accidental?
No such thing as an accident!
Absolutely agree there is no such thing as an accident.
This crash which appears to have been caused by a trucker who was too impatient and just had to pass a snowplow with the pass starting in a curve (notice the yellow sign warning of a curve ahead) and having no view of what was ahead for enough of a distance that it took to overtake the snowplow.
Not driving for the conditions of snow, slight uphill from the looks of it, a slow moving and “wide” vehicle and insufficient visibility distance to see what is coming. The trucker would have had a similar caution yellow curve sign just about where he would have pulled out to pass.
THAT is why I am cautious around truckers – huge obstacles and tired drivers who need to get somewhere fast because time is money to them.

If the fire wasn’t ‘intentional’ then just what other word could you use to describe it other than ‘accidental’?
