Rand Paul’s Office Building Catches Fire, One Day After Referring Fauci for Prosecution

( Becker News) Whether it is pure coincidence or an act of arson, two possible explanations, Senator Rand Paul’s office was burned in a fire that broke out in Bowling Green, Kentucky on early Friday morning. The fire follows one day after the Kentucky senator referred Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for prosecution to the Department of Justice.

As the sun rose in Bowling Green, its rays trickled though grey smoke billowing from the rooftop of the building that contains Paul’s office, Kerrick Bachert’s law office, and Dezign Tees.

The emergency services got to the fire at around 1:45 a.m., as per a representative from the Bowling Green Fire Department. Katie McKee, spokesperson for the Bowling Green Fire Department, confirmed that no one was hurt in the incident.

As reported by Bowling Green Daily News, a total of nine teams responded to the fire. This comprises approximately 31 personnel. Two deputy chiefs and Fire Chief Justin Brooks of Bowling Green also were on the scene to supervise the response. Several hefty tree branches were removed to enable the Fire Department’s hose to be directed through the second floor windows. The roof collapsed and there was significant damage to the building’s structure.

“We are thankful for the Bowling Green first responders who arrived quickly to the scene to put out the fire, and are continuing to work with authorities to assess damages and to determine a cause. We have a very well established emergency management plan and have the ability to continue operations that will not impact our work helping Kentuckians,” Sen. Paul said in a statement.
