Fire in New Venice Building

NEW VENICE 9:30 AM 21-10-2048 --- An abandoned building in New Venice was found ablaze this morning. Flames engulfed the upper stories of the Jade Promenade, and spread rapidly through the lower floors. A timely intervention by firefighting tugs prevented flames from spreading to the nearby buildings.
The condo was once a busy building prior to the flooding of New Venice, and has since been largely abandoned. A number of squatters were rumored to have taken up residence.
Unsubstantiated eye witness accounts claim that several unmarked boats were seen in the area the night prior, as well as noises of a scuffle could be heard in the upper stories. Investigation by CERTIS is ongoing at this time, and foul play has not been ruled out.
