Opps

Given the law of numbers, it was bound to happen.

This morning as I was getting ready for work, Zelda called out,

"Hon, did the book store you were working on with the old company have a clock tower?"

"Yes".

"It burned down this morning!"

"Oh...".

Fortunately no one was hurt.
And the bookstore was completely empty.

My guess is that in cutting the roof off at the back of the building, some sparks got away.

Being a remodel, there was enough laying around to catch...

Here's the report.

Fort Worth fire investigators said that workers using a cutting torch started the smoldering, slow-starting fire early Wednesday at the TCU Bookstore that caused $1 million in damage.
"The heat from the torch apparently ignited a layer of the roof," said Lt. Kent Worley. "It was unseen at the time and smoldered for several hours before igniting the entire underside of the roof area."
Firefighters were called around 2 a.m. to the store at South University Drive and West Berry Street.
The building, which was built in 1950, was being remodeled and contained no books or other student material, Lt. Kent Worley said.
"TCU students' ability to get textbooks and other educational materials will not be affected," he said.
The bookstore will continue to operate from a portable building in the parking lot.
While fighting the blaze, firefighters were forced to scramble when the roof of the bookstore began to collapse and one firefighter suffered minor injuries to his foot, Worley said.
The TCU Bookstore building was originally a Safeway supermarket before it was converted to a Barnes & Noble bookstore in 1997.
