Another Walmart Fire Extinguished with a Red Can

 This time it was arson!

In Orlando Florida on the 8th of April a Walmart employee extinguished a fire set by a shoplifter as a distraction.  One fire extinguisher put out the blaze.

A mother and her child noticed the flames and called for help. An employee was able to grab an extinguisher and put the fire out before it grew.

The state fire marshal said the fire could have caused something to explode because it burned for some time before it was noticed, the report said."It might have been burning faster underneath the shelf," Bureau of Fire and Arson Detective Juan Bailey said. "But at some point, it would have broken out and it would have involved two shelves and then three. It would have gotten quickly out of hand and the employees would not have been able to put it out."
