My money says the developers were responsible.
When places don't burn down until the property is under development, and just the places which would cost the developer money instead of make them money, end up burning, something ain't on the up and up.
In the time leading up to the fires, security there got less and less, to the point that people could almost walk in in front of them...
Then, after the fire... they went into hyperdrive to knock everything down super fast. Why? Because the vast majority of the structure wasn't really effected by the fire. Anyone that got a chance to look closely at the rubble piles they made, saw lots and lots of undamaged material (well, undamaged till they broke it all down).
On a side note, Steampunk, do you know of the homeless dude in New West (sadly, very messed up) with the long dirty blonde dreds ? The guy is a magnet for abandonment destruction. He was the reason the old houses on Barnet got knocked down (he repeatedly broke in and kept triggering the alarms). I saw him the other day running around the New West city hall, waving his jacket, dashing back and forth all over...

I have to agree with you Jester; it has be some sort of plan with the developer involved. I'm inclined it to think it was sort of back alley deal with a random homeless drug addict in exchange for a small sum of money; however that's because I have been watching too many episodes of "21 Jump Street" lately (which interestingly enough was filmed in the neighborhood!) Considering that when I went in there with certain people from this fourm, the "guide" pointed out the absense of homeless people who were regulars inside there that also was described as odd, that could be a possibility.
Now, as for the subject of security, its interesting to note they had Securitas. Securitas is mostly a observe & report operation; however I noticed they during the day had two on-site officers on site; while they had one at night. Usually you want consistent coverage for these 24 hour watches, but I have a feeling it was the client, aka the developer, that requested single officer on site after sunset for some reason.
