In 2024 the under construction Oceana indoor water park in Gothenburg, Sweden was nearing completion when it suddenly caught fire and subsequently exploded in a very dramatic fashion, resulting in one fatality. This is a 16 minute long mini-documentary that does a pretty good job of explaining what happened and why. Dramatic footage and explanations from the accident investigation report included:

Apart from the mistakes made which led to the fire, I think the incident itself is also a good showcase for how fires in ”unusual” complicated structures can present rapid and dramatic fire behaviors not necessarily expected by firefighters.

We had a fire started on a roofing project at our airport terminal by similar circumstances. Welders
