The U.S. Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said its agents
were assisting local law enforcement in their investigation of
the fire, which destroyed the offices of the Black Chamber of
Commerce in Beaufort, South Carolina, early on Saturday.
Damage to the building was estimated at $2 million, the agency
said.
Officials did not release additional details of the blaze.
Greenville, South Carolina, television station WYFF reported
that the building was under construction and slated to open next
year.
