In the 1950’s through the years when the Circuit Court was housed in the County Building it was widely known and laughed about that the County was burning their records in the annual fire that raged though floor 3 1/2 with great annual regularity or when an embarrassing investigation was anticipated.  (City Hall also had a 3 1/2 and a similar situation).

When the Brunswick building fire occurred many of the oldtimers feeling nostalgia & the statement:  ” wonder who is being investigated now!”     It stopped being funny when people were killed.

Of course all of the fires could have been co-incidence – but the timing was perfect – only a few lawyers were in the building along…
