Just saw the unfortunate news that there was a major fire in some of the city of Arlington's rentable hangars tonight. These are enclosed and locked T-hangars which presented a problem for firefighters. Although smoke and flames were pouring out of the hangars, the fire department was having to saw through the sheet metal doors to gain entry.
I saw conflicting reports, but one news station said 14-individual hangars were engulfed, and another said only 11. In any respect, I really feel badly for the owners of those planes. While I have no way of knowing if there were planes in all of the hangars, I do know that they are all rented (there is a 5-year waiting list, minimum, for a hangar).
While ALL planes are valuable, I also know of two RV's which reside at Arlington. So far there have been no clues given as to what caused the fire.
