New Delhi: A surprising case has come to light from California, America, where an employee angry over low salary set fire to the huge warehouse of his own company. The fire that broke out in this 1.2 million square foot warehouse in Ontario was so severe that more than 140 firefighters had to work hard to extinguish it.
Made live video and posted it on Facebook
The arrested accused has been identified as 29 year old Chamel Abdulkareem Who was an employee of NFI Industries. Abdulkareem not only set the fire, but also made a video of the entire incident and shared it on his Facebook page. According to ‘Los Angeles Times’, the face of the accused is not visible in the video, but he is clearly seen setting fire to a roll of toilet paper with a lighter in his hand.
“Don’t get enough money to live”
In the video, the accused vented out his anger and targeted the system and the company. “We don’t get enough money to live, but these things (toilet paper) are very cheap,” she captioned the video. In another video, he says in a warning tone, “If you are not giving us respectable salaries, then at least give us enough so that we do not do this (arson).”
No impact on supply chain: Kimberly-Clark

Ontario Fire Department Deputy Chief Mike Weddell said that huge resources had to be deployed to control the fire. However, Kimberly-Clark company has issued a statement clarifying that this arson will not cause any hindrance in the supply of products and there will be no shortage of toilet paper or diapers in the market.
