My first thought is roofers, which is too often the case. Flammable materials.The blaze broke out on the building’s copper roof during renovations, and police said it was too early to say what caused it.

A petroleum truck crashed and ignited a large fire under an overpass on Interstate 95 in Norwalk, Connecticut, on Thursday morning, May 2, prompting the closure of both northbound and southbound lanes of the freeway, officials said.
The crash also involved a passenger vehicle and a tractor-trailer truck, Governor Ned Lamont told a press conference.
The fuel truck was carrying 8,500 gallons of petroleum, fire officials said.
Scott Hill, chief engineer for the Connecticut Department of Transportation, said the blaze caused damage to the bridge above it.
According to ABC 7 NY and Fox 61, fire officials said the bridge sustained extensive damage and would be demolished within the next 48 hours.
Lamont urged travelers to avoid the Norwalk area as the freeway shutdown was causing “horrendous” traffic jams.
