smac97 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Here: Quote SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints issued a statement following a fire that sparked at a historic building in Salt Lake City. The fire happened at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Wednesday at approximately 7 p.m. Church officials said the fire started on the second-floor roof. In the statement, they noted that "the most likely cause of the fire is from combustible construction materials that ignited on their own." Emergency crews were able to respond quickly and extinguish the flames. Nobody was injured in the fire and property damage was kept to a minimum, according to the Church's statement. The building has reopened and is operating as normal. I'm glad nobody was hurt, and that the fire was accidental. Thanks, -Smac 2

The Nehor Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Ha, I knew that firestarting method would be undetectable by forensics. Oh, yeah, I mean, glad no one was hurt. 1
