RAMADI, Iraq (August 26, 2008) – An electrical fire broke out at the Combat Logistics Company 51’s Maintenance Office on Camp Ramadi Aug. 26. After the flames were extinguished by Staff Sgt. Robert J. Marquardt, 30, from Winter Park, Fla., the maintenance chief for CLC-51, Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group, the base fire department arrived and conducted an investigation with Task Force Ramadi Safety, who declared the fire was caused when an overloaded circuit overheated electrical wiring in the ceiling. The fire caused damage to the overhead rafters and electrical system. Marines with CLC-51 now have to fix the fire damage and rewire the building for inspection and certification in order to be operational again.
