1. Someone set the mattress on fire?

I always thought that was just a figure of speech.

4. Meanwhile, all humor aside...

All CNN reported was the fire, showed live scene for a few seconds, and stated it is not known whether there was anyone in the warehouse. The scene showed the warehouse as totally engulfed in flames. Anyone in Compton/nearby know more?

on edit: typos fixed

LOS ANGELES -- A two-alarm structure fire burned a mattress warehouse in Compton Thursday morning.

Burning mattresses have been determined as the cause of the blaze.

NBC4's Justin Jaeger said the fire has been put out but there is a little residual flame left.

The warehouse is located near Weber Avenue and Alameda Street.

No injuries were reported in the fire at the Spring Pedic factory.

9. "Burning mattresses have been determined as the cause of the blaze"

Was it a 'mattress warehouse' or some sort of 'burning mattress warehouse'?

What do they normally use burning mattresses for?

10. in the immortal words of midnight oil

how can we dance when our world is turning
how can we sleep when our beds are burning?

it's only funny since it appears no one was hurt.
