'''Fiery Coverup''' is the act of [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowing up]] or [[Kill It with Fire|burning down]] the evidence implicating you in some crime. Very popular among [[Mega Corp|evil corporations]] and [[Government Conspiracy|governments]] who go as far as torching entire city parts to cover up something particularly nasty. Often takes place when [[Outrun the Fireball|the heroes are in the middle of discovering said evidence]].

== Anime
* [[Mega Corp|Aoyama Pharmaceutical]] in ''[[Mnemosyne]]'' demolishes Sayara Yamanobe's secret lab soon after it is compromised in the first episode.
* Common in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' when the Men-In-Black are involved.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
==
* In ''[[Aeon Entelechy Evangelion]]'' the OIS forensic team tries to find any evidence on the group who compromised the airport security on the day Shinji arrived. Problem: They are doing in the aftermath of battle, where one side, the NEG Army, was desperate enough to lob relatively small tactical nuclear warheads at the other side, the Third Harbinger Asherah, who casually violates spacetime and reality while pwning the humans with ease. Suffice to say, there is not much to dig.
