EOB Fire Shocker
At an afternoon news conference, D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Fire Chief Dennis L. Rubin said security concerns prevented them from saying exactly where or how the fire started.
Maybe I’m just paranoid… Security concerns? Really?
But a source with knowledge of the fire said the flames began in a utility closet off Vice President Cheney’s ceremonial office on the second floor. The flames were confined to the closet, but a significant amount of smoke raced through the building, the source said.
Some reports say the fire apparently started in an electrical closet or telephone room.
An electrical closet — yeah, that makes sense.
