Another fire involving EFIS............... September 23, 2007 | 7:19 PM 3-Alarm Blaze Hits Construction
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - September 23, 2007 (WPVI) -- A fire that engulfed a 43-story tower under construction at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on Sunday only caused "superficial damage" to the structure, authorities said. No injuries were reported in the blaze, which started at about 7:45 a.m. on the south side of the tower and was under control about 20 minutes later, Atlantic City Fire Captain Michael Mooney said. The cause of the fire remained under investigation Sunday night, but Mooney said it appeared that the blaze started in the breeze way connecting the tower and the main Borgata Casino. Dubbed "The Water Club," the tower is a $400 million addition that will include 800 guest rooms. The 457-foot-tall tower, scheduled to be completed early next year, will be one of the tallest buildings in Atlantic City.

A welder on the roof started the fire and it spread down the outside of the building. I guess the stuff melts and runs down spreading the fire.
