The day after yesterday's fire at the Kensington Post Office, the facility opened for business at about 9:00 a.m. A view of the extent of the damage is hidden from the public by the cardboard that's covering the service windows.
Several employees had been at work sorting packages when the fire broke out. Luckily, none of them were injured.
When I asked the employee at the package pick-up window if mail had been destroyed, she answered "some but not much." Then she walked away.
An electrical fire caused the blaze.
