And we saw debris falling across the street over there.”The building was largely empty because of the upcoming holiday and pandemic, according to the release, and the fire department and BGE crews will continue investigating.According to the release from BGE, window washing scaffolding was compromised and a window washing crew was pulled to safety by the fire department.The official cause is unknown at this time, a tweet from the fire department says.Ad FeedbackAd FeedbackAd Feedback
