Post Rev. Al's offices on fire

Fire Breaks Out at Al Sharpton's Office
1 hour, 18 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!

NEW YORK - Fire broke out Wednesday at the Harlem building that houses the offices of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
The fire was reported at 8:30 a.m. on the building's second floor, the same floor as Sharpton's offices. Firefighters were beginning to bring the fire under control an hour later.
One civilian was being treated for smoke inhalation, authorities said.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was in Sharpton's offices at the time or how near the offices were to the fire. A call to a National Action Network spokeswoman was not immediately returned.
On Tuesday, Sharpton formally filed papers seeking the Democratic party's nomination for the 2004 presidential race.
