Burning down a brick building from the outside

[xerxes35]

How would one burn down a brick building, but you can't go inside it. What type of materials would you use.

And I am not interested in covering up the fact that it is arson. Or if it's easy to do it I am open to suggestions.

a large hot fire

[Rainycity]

im going to say alot of accelerants.

[xerxes35]

So far trolls....

What i'm expecting so far....any knowledgeable people?

[themessenger]

Bricks can catch fire if its hot enough.

You could set the leaves and twigs in the guttering on fire.

cordless drill with hole saw. drill hole in roof, pour accerlerant in hole. let her rip.

[checkcollecter]

brick building? no windows?

[zuperxtreme]

Molotov everything! :mad:

fucking this! Egyptians did it! but be sure to wipe your prints off the glass bottles before you do it.

Windows, roofs.

Get a million sparklers.
Tape them to the house.
Light them all at once.
The house is melted!
Sparklers=Thermite

You'd need to find an open window to set the mixture. Starting a fire on bricks isn't going to do anything. If you can get access to an insulation in the building that's your best bet.

How was i a troll dumb fuck do you not know what accelerant means or some shit. Ill dumb it down down for you little fuck, in the strongest corner of the building put everything flamable in that corner, pour gas ontop a shit load, done you fuck tard. Maybe even get fucking lighter fluid, power steering fluid anything flamable and just fucking pour it on top, this will cause a fucking hot ass fire. Try to concentrate the fire to one corner instead of trying to burn the whole building down, because that is just a lot harder, and if you destroy the strongest part of the building, its fucking toast. Now you may proceed to suck my dick.

To be fair, it's a pretty stupid question. I doubt the roof is brick, so set it on fire. Bricks don't burn, thermite can burn through them, but your fire is going to go straight down.

Find / make an opening, pump in an accelerant, light it; or try and light the roof.

Little word of advice, if your going to drench something with an accelerant and try to light it quickly without lighting yourself on fire, get something like this:

You can light it in a couple seconds and it will stay lit even if you throw it. They're like $20-30.

I'd say you'd probably find it close to impossible to burn down a brick building from the outside, if you could get your accelerants inside, and supply enough air it should work.

On a side note; around 1000 BC there were cultures in Scotland that build fortifications where they'd fused the rocks together by fire, but if memory serves it took the Discovery channel several days and tons of wood to fuse a few small rocks together - imagine how much time and wood you'd need to fuse a large section of wall, or burn through a brick wall...

As already mentioned, you'd need thermite to burn it down from the outside, and you'd need quite a lot of thermite as it isn't exactly easy to keep in one place once the reaction gets going...

EDIT: But why the hell would you want to burn down a building?

[nuclearrabbit]

Make a building from calcium sulfate thermite bricks. Or red powder rocket fuel made to look like bricks.

Well there are 2 types of bricks: Clay Brick ( which is a more softer, easyier to break brick ) and you have Cement brick which are a bit tougher and less likely to crack under extreme amounts of heat or pressure. ( Im a brick layers labourer 4 years )

If it was a clay brick you can easely knock a hole anywhere in the wall which you can either pour your accelerant down into or stuff some sort of explosive into. There is 90% of the time tar paper or tyvek behind the wall, this type of material is ment to be fire retarded but you could get it going if it was burning hot or had some time to spead out . And behind that you have 2" styrofoam and then your framing and then your pink fluffy insulation.

I dont think you are going to have luck igniting the bricks themselves but im sure if you used like someone mentioned earlier : Thermite or w.e but Id say maybe make some napalm but leave it kinda thin soo it will run down in behind the wall and melt even more into the 2" styrofoam. There SHOULD be "Weeping holes " at the bottom of the wall and there is also a large gap hidden in the soffet so that may help with getting air flow behind the wall, But with the amount of mortar that gets dropped behind the bricks it can kinda block some of that air flow.

Any other brick questions that you can think of ? if so let me hear it .

Or look and see if the house has a natural gas line hook-up outside and see if you can re route it to indoors, Then fucking fire bomb the basement windows.

..I wouldnt do the natural gas thing if they were home because they would obv smell it, the gas companies add in trace amounts of a chemical called "mercaptan" , which has a distinctive rotten egg or sulphur-like odour.

thermite

I beat you to it, buddy.

I still suggest sparklers.

[CoolStoryScrote]

Napalm? It's really simple to make and it burns pretty hot. Not sure if it's hot enough to burn down a brick building though. I'm not a pyromaniac >.>

Dumpster full of flammable materials pushed under an overhang and lit on fire.

Propane tank a copper feeder tube off the tank and a drill. Drill a hole in the wall then insert your feeder tube and tank. Turn tank upside down and proceed to empty it of its gas then insert either a long fuse then stuff the hole with a rag or an E detonator.
