The fire was reported Sunday afternoon (July 16) in Port Canaveral, on the roof of a large building that SpaceX uses to store the first stages of Falcon 9 rockets that have landed back on Earth during orbital missions, according to Florida's WESH 2 News.
"The large building and difficulty reaching the fire made the job tough," WESH 2 reported. "Firefighters wearing lots of heavy protective gear and equipment had to climb 75-foot-tall [23 meters] ladders in the hot Florida afternoon sun to reach the blaze. One firefighter experienced heat stress, and was taken to a hospital to be checked. There were no other injuries."

"There was no damage to any SpaceX equipment or hardware as a result of the fire," the statement added. "The cause of the fire is under investigation."

The image and the statement don't seem to correlate. The building doesn't appear unusually large or particularly tall. It also seems odd that such a facility located at NASA Cape Canaveral would not have sufficient fire protection measures in place.
Interesting.
Probably a tesla ‘ s battery caught on fire. Don’t worry...they will get a taxpayers ‘ grant to cover costs. musk is no dummy.
