The Warehouse Fire

≈ 4 min

Shortly after midnight on 2 July 2026, fire crews responded to a blaze at the Caldwell Textile Warehouse on Heron Street. When the flames were extinguished, the body of Marcus Finch — a freelance security consultant who had recently threatened to expose the building's owner — was found inside. Investigators suspect arson to conceal a homicide. Your task is to reconstruct the exact sequence of events that occurred from the afternoon before the fire through to the discovery of the body, using only the forensic evidence recovered at the scene.
