Description seen on the internet:
“At 6:00 a.m., the sacristan entered, smelled smoke, but found nothing. Fire Department Chaplain Fr. Francis O Neill entered for Mass just before 7:00 a.m. Both he and the sacristan searched again. Finding nothing, they decided it was a boiler smell.
As the early morning Mass was being said, smoke began to drift across the recessed side Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. After Communion, smoke became more visible. Deputy Fire Chief McSweegan, who was attending Mass that morning, went with Fr. O Neill to the Lower Cathedral worship space. An acrid smell and the crackling of flames was heard in the basement ceiling above. This was below the main altar and caused the first alarm to be pulled.”
