Local excitement *UPDATED*

Reading this story, I understand (a) why I got stuck in an hour long traffic jam trying to run an errand in San Rafael while between carpools and (b) why a rumor instantly began that the place was a meth lab.  I look forward to learning what the criminal investigation reveals.  Having wasted an hour of my life because of this fire, I feel as if I have a vested interested in learning what caused that explosion.

UPDATE:  It wasn’t meth.  It was horrible bad luck in an old building.  I hope that the victim went too quickly to realize what happened.
