Ontario fire
Definition
A massive six-alarm blaze at a Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, California, suspected to be arson, which drew over 100 firefighters and lit up the night sky like an unplanned bonfire party.
Colloquially, any spectacularly large fire in Ontario locales, but most famously the 2026 warehouse inferno that made local news hotter than the flames themselves.
Examples
The Ontario fire was so intense, firefighters needed backup from every station in the county just to keep the marshmallows from toasting themselves.

Arsonists picked the wrong warehouse for the Ontario fire – now Kimberly-Clark's paper towels are on sale as 'fire-kissed' specials.
In Ontario, 'fire' used to mean barbecue season, but post-Ontario fire, it means 'evacuate and pray for wind in the other direction'.
