Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Fire"

✓ A massive fire broke out last June at one of the CP warehouses that our customers are supplying.

× It also sparked public outrage against its negligence in safety.
✓ The incident also sparked public outrage against our company’s safety practices.

I don’t know what “CP warehouses” are, but I assume they are specific to your job. I’m also not sure whether your customers provide supplies to the warehouse or receive supplies from the warehouse.

It’s unclear what “It” and “its” are referring to in the second sentence, so I tried substituting specific nouns.

If you are part of the company that had the negligent safety practices, it may not be a good idea to suggest your company was at fault. I reworded the sentence to avoid using the word “negligent”.

A: The "already" puts a sense that the "firing" was bound to happen anyway or that they should quicken the process.
It wouldn't be awkward to say "Just fire me". Both could be used.
