"very series"

Does that mean there is more than one fire?

thanks, I'm in DC but doing business with people in Chicago (if you can lawyers "people") today, so probably won't be on my cable. I'll try national cable here.


Good use of breaking news

They broke into their normal news saying "a very series high rise fire is occuring....we see people running out of buildings"(local fox) I kid you not
Then they said it may just be people evactuating the building next to the "high rise Fire"..

Then I turned it to Wgn-tv and they said "a very series high rise fire is occruing downtown"
well like I said it was a 4-5 story building...
