BOSTON (CBS) – There was a small fire early Tuesday morning at the farm where President Obama and his family are expected to spend their vacation later this month.

According to the Martha’s Vineyard Gazette, a fire broke out in a wall of the main house at Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark around 3:30 a.m.

“Very small, very contained, extinguished quickly,” Chilmark fire chief David Norton told the paper.

A gas grill on a nearby porch appeared to be the source of the fire.

There were tenants in the house at the time of the fire, however they evacuated quickly and no one was hurt.

The realtor told the Gazette the damage will be repaired in about a day.

The Obamas are expected between August 17 and August 28.

So, who grills at 3:30 AM?

I sure hope lightning doesn't smite strike.

IIRC, no day time eating during ramadan.

Hip Hop BBQ’s usually don’t start until around 3AM.

Ohhhh. Thought it was rioters showing the rich that they (the rioters) could do anything...

[RexBeach]

Imagine that. A farm that raises Blue Herons. Gosh.

How do they get them into the barn at night?

How do they get them into the barn at night?

Why, with Obamacare waivers of course!

Reichstag?

If I were the Secret Service I would keep a close eye on the contractor fixing the fire damage.
This seems somewhat suspicious

11 day vacation........

So how many vacations will that so far this year? All of his subjects are having trouble paying rent and groceries forget about a vacation.

You mean like the walls have eyes...and ears...??

Suspicious?? You bet!!

Was someone trying to precook Barry's burgers? Shame, shame, shame. O'Zero likes his Wagyu burgers freshly cooked and will not accept substandard food. An attempt to precook and microwave is worthy of banishment to Gitmo.

A warning to the kitchen staff: Barry and his bride better be served lobsters that were kickin' before they were steamed!!

Any attempts to use, cook or serve peasant food will result in severe punishments.

The Burning Bush was practicing for Obamessiah’s visit.

The teleprompter at the dinner table shorted out.

Strangely enough the fire fighters found this scorched into the wall:

Hopefully, we can get a reduction on the rent.
