      indeed, the street had been blocked off by piles of dirt so firefighters couldn't reach the blaze

        Sounds like someone needs to spend some time in jail. What if someone had died because of that shit.

    Oh shit. Well that re-ignites my conspiracy mindedness. When I saw that it was an isolated road near a quarry I thought that maybe carelessness could have explained the blocked road. ("meh - fix the mess later. no one will be bothered")

    But if the quarry owner almost certainly blocked the road and is also the new owner? Yikes.
