Fire damages Fox, C-SPAN, MSNBC studios
The Hill ^ | 01/20/19 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 01/20/2019 8:55:16 AM PST by McGruff

A fire Sunday morning in Northwest Washington, D.C., damaged studios for Fox News, C-SPAN and MSNBC, and forced "Fox News Sunday" to relocate its broadcast to a local affiliate's studio.

D.C. Fire and EMS tweeted that an electrical fire broke out in the 8th floor television studio but nobody was injured.

Steve Scully, the political editor for C-SPAN, tweeted shortly after 7 a.m. that the Fox News and C-SPAN studios sustained "extensive damage," and MSNBC's studio took on "extensive smoke and water damage."

See, see! If Trump would have signed the Paris Climate Agreement, this wouldn’t have happened!

Then Chris Wallace says that having to work in the WTTG studios is like beck in the 1950s! Talk about insulting your affiliate! You can’t make this stuff up!

C-SPAN and MSNBC were just collateral damage necessary to hurt the primary target no doubt.

In this day and age, why don’t Circuit breakers and AFCI’s (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters) work?

And, you just have to *know* that the local building inspector ‘bought off’ on the install.

All the gear in the studios have fuses or CB’s too.

I would love to see the Fire Marshall’s report on this when he/she is finished.

All three are under the same roof?


Even closer, all on the same floor.

Who would have ever thought that they shared the same restrooms, drinking fountains, and elevators.

How convenient!!!!

Fuses and breakers are for circuit protection as you obviously know. There are endless ways for fires to occur which don’t result in a breaker of fuse trip.

I can appreciate that broadcast outlets need special-purpose facilities, just like a bank branch needs a vault for safe-deposit boxes and a factory needs ventilation etc.

THAT SAID, even the DNC and RNC HQs are 3/10 mi away from each other in DC, and the NYC broadcasting locations of the MSM are in separate buildings (though near each other).
