Chapter 3


    "Good morning, I''m Phil Reynolds for Action Seven News. What you are seeing behind me was once


    the Downtown Forensic Examiners building, but now, it is a pile of ash and rubble.


    Last night, around eleven o''clock, this very building went up in mes.As of now, the cause of the fire is


    still in question, but firefighters are specting that perhaps a faulty outlet could be to me, being that


    the building itself was ny-eight years old.Thankfully, no one inside the four floor building was hurt or


    killed.


    There is still a lot of cleanup to do, as well as trying to figure out just where the new building will be


    erected and just where the funds for the building will emanate from an already cash- strapped city.With


    Mayor Finy''s speechst week on the city''s fiscal plight, erecting another building could very well put


    Cypress in yet another financial bind that it cannot afford at the moment.


    Though Cypress needs a medical examiners station, some say that re-building one in today''s climate


    may not be in the best interest of the city, considering the new subway system that the Mayor wants to


    construct.


    Now, we did get reports that the fire started in the forensicsb downstairs on the bottom floor. Two


    technicians stated that one moment they were working, then the next thing they knew there was a


    sudden burst, and then everything went up in mes.Unfortunately, the fire was so intense that the


    building itself could never be recovered. What''s left would have to be taken down.

    The fire marshal is calling the fire itself very suspicious. Not suspicious in human error, but in the way it


    began. He states that he has never seen a fire spread so quickly. ording to firefighters, it took only


    an hour for the entire building to burn to the ground.
