Investigating such a massive fire, in such a massive store filled with combustible materials, is a huge undertaking. With ATF now on the scene, investigators are hoping to find out how this happened - and how to prevent it from happening again in any other location.
The Home Depot fire was also hectic for Wagly, a veterinary hospital and pet campus next door where dozens of animals had to be evacuated in a hurry.
"Not only fire, but explosions," he added."They come from all different denominations of specialty- electrical, structural. They do scene processes, interviews and all that." Fernandez explained the Home Depot fire investigation is sure to span far beyond the physical fire scene. Witnesses who spoke with ABC7 News claimed there was no immediate fire alarm and no sign of active sprinklers. The fire department said that is all under investigation.
