Fire at Apple in Arizona

There's no information yet about any possible injuries, and it does not appear to be affecting the status of Apple's services -- GT Advanced maintained control of the building through the end of the year and it seems doubtful any major services have been set up there yet.

I'm not too sure if this is news worthy. More likely clickbait, but hey, it's Apple! Looks like their solar panels on top of their newly acquired building caught fire somehow. I mean today is the first day of summer really in Arizona, and temps are hitting high 90's and low 100's all over the valley. So I'm thinking Apple should employ some guys to double check their wiring. ;-)

Also, I hope the photo loads correctly. Sorry for the quality too, looks like it was shot from a bad sky cam.

I love all of these!!

From initial reports out here, there were no injuries, and the damage was contained to pretty much the area underneath the roof where it burned, and that it didn't damage anything crucial or anything terribly expensive.

Well, if they ever decide to start selling solar panels, may I suggest the name " iNferno "

The sad thing is it can... we usually have several days above 120 degrees in the summer. In July it's 110 or higher almost every day.

Those panels shouldn't have caught fire, they were gold plated.
