FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — It's now black and charred.

Employees of TJ’s Tattoo Shop next door smelled smoke and called authorities -- and before long, the Democratic Headquarters were engulfed in flames.

The Fernandina Beach Fire Department is calling the fire accidental.

No one was hurt, but 93 year-old volunteer Helene Scott had just left to grab dinner moments before. In fact, neighboring tenants thought she was inside and had firefighters kick the door down.
