@BrevardSheriff says small fire at @NASAKennedy @SpaceX building is out. No injuries. Already doing repairs.
The roof has 4-5 foot sides to it
At least the fire was not in the launch control building. (Which is nearby)
Can't find the tweet now, dammit, but there was one about a controlled burn nearby. Anyone there have knowledge?
