Suspicious fire damages Susan B. Anthony Museum after person caught on surveillance video

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A suspicious fire has damaged the landmark Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester.

Shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, Rochester firefighters received a call that the fire alarm at the museum, had activated. Within minutes, 911 dispatchers started receiving 911 calls.

Firefighters found the back porch of the museum engulfed in flames, fire officials said. Firefighters contained the fire to the back porch, which was heavily damaged. There was minor fire damage to a nearby doorway and water damage to the interior carpet, said Lt. Jeffery Simpson of the Rochester Fire Department.

Smoke damage is apparent throughout the house, which remained closed Sunday, said Deborah Hughes, president and CEO of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. It was not known when the museum would reopen.

No historical artifacts were damaged, Simpson said. It took firefighters about 20 minutes to contain the blaze. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters said they were investigating.

That's the only thing I can come up with considering how much they hate women. Especially strong women. Trying to send a message?

Someone who hates feminist symbols (goes beyond those incel dinks);

The anti-choicers have cherry-picked some of Anthony's views and glommed onto her as a historic feminist figure who "supports" their view. As much as I'd like to place the blame where my knee-jerk tells me (the right), we can't rule out someone who's heard too much of that and is striking at an anti-choice symbol;

Not to mention a "false flag" by some RW zealot who'd be happy for some leftist to take the blame for attacking a feminist landmark.
