So we moved our vehicles and we evacuated our staff to avoid any danger to them.”

Michael Klonaris, Chief Executive Officer of TMF Construction, the company completing the buildout of the Hyacinth Stuart Building also spoke with reporters on Tuesday about the fire. He said, “we just know around 10:30 in the morning fire started between the generator, the generator tank of Solomon’s, AML.
