NEW: Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot warehouse in Ontario, California.

29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested on arson charges for setting a Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire.

Abdulkarim apparently filmed himself on Instagram setting toilet paper packages in the warehouse on fire.

"You may not pay us enough to fcking live, but these btches [shows lighter] dirt cheap... There goes your inventory," Abdulkarim apparently said.

"All you had to do is pay us enough to live. All you had to do was pay us enough to f*cking live."

The warehouse is the size of 11 city blocks. In total, 175 firefighters and 20 engines were on the scene trying to put the fire out.

No one was injured.

More of this please. “All you had to do was pay us a living wage.” Exactly. And they won’t change until they have no other choice. History repeating itself.
