Apple’s Cupertino campus caught blaze late Tuesday night as firefighters put out a three-alarm fire that burned for more than three hours. According to mercurynews.com, the Santa Clara County Fire Department says the three-alaram fire scorched the roof and the second level at one of the six buildings on the company’s campus. The fire was extinguished early this morning and no one was injured.
Deputy Chief Hal Rooney, of Santa Clara County Fire, said the fire may have started under an air conditioning unit on the second floor. Apple workers in the building first called in the fire, fearing a potential fireon the roof because of smoke in the area, Rooney said. The fire was reported shortly after 10 p.m. and it took roughly an hour to bring it under control by more the 60 firefighters.
What Will Apple Do Now?
Rooney said that there are no exact estimates on how much damage has been done to the building on Apple’s campus. Fear not, as I am sure Steve Jobs, President and CEO of Apple Inc., will take care of it all. Although this is a sad sight for Apple and its employees, there is one punch line in the story that only Apple lovers will appreciate. After the Apple employees found the smoke coming from the building and reported it to police, they continued on their daily lives … and snapped photos of the blaze with their graphically-enhanced Apple iPhone. Only you, Apple, only you.
