Apple Catches Fire, Mac Fanboys Freak

Posted by brittneygilbert
Even Jesus himself could not save the iPhones from fire:

A three-alarm fire burned Tuesday night at the Apple campus in Cupertino, according to the Santa Clara County Fire Department.

The fire department received a report of smoke at about 10 p.m. at 20605 Valley Green Drive, at a building known as Valley Green 6.

The fire was contained by 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. Some stubborn flames under an air conditioning unit burned for about an hour more.

No injuries were reported and the building was cleared, according to a fire dispatcher.  Officials said the fire was finally put out after about three hours.

The fire department said the fire scorched the roof and the second level at one of the six buildings on the company's northern California campus in Cupertino.

Senior Communications Dispatcher Rafael Salcedo says the fire was "not very big, but there is going to be a lot of smoke damage."

Let's all take a moment to pray the MacBook Airs made it out okay.

Word has it that security was so tight at Apple headquarters that officials there called the cops on KRON staff members who were on the scene to report on the blaze. When police arrived they determined reporters and photographers were not trespassing, and they left.

CBS 5 is rocking all kinds of video from the scene of the fire, including some raw video of firefighters in the act, and judging by the numbers a bunch of Mac nerds are highly interested in the goings-on in Cupertino.
