Chipboard Inferno - Kingston

A five story chipboard Student Residence under construction in Kingston Ontario is now a smoldering heap in the aftermath of a gigantic raging inferno.  See my “Chipboard” Blogs published on September 29, 2013.  It was an easy prediction.

Most homes and many multiple unit dwellings built in North America in the past two decades have been clad in highly flammable chipboard.  Yes, it’s madness but it makes a fortune for builders.  Check your own residence.  The next explosive inferno story could be yours.

What lies ahead?  I predict that thousands of lives will be lost in future chipboard conflagrations.  Sad to say that this will become routine.  I’m glad I’m old.

Firemen don’t live in chipboard houses.
