A fire was reported Friday at the Flight 93 National Memorial, the location commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in Stonycreek Township, Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh station KDKA described the fire as “major” and reported it has burned three administrative buildings. A spokesperson for the National Park Service, the site of the memorial, said no injuries had been reported.

The cause of the fire was unknown. Pennsylvania news station WJAC reported the fire at about 3:30 p.m. ET.

Little information remains available, though the station reported that all National Park Service staff have been evacuated.

    What a waste of space. There is no indication that this fire is anything but a fire and until we find out something to the contrary, this is just filling up space on a slow news day

  4. “The files on Benghazi were stored at the site, along with the real Obamacare numbers”
