NEW: There was a fire at the Army's ammunition plant in Scranton, Pa. today - a key hub for making 155mm rounds. General Dynamics helps run the plant, and tells me the fire was small, and has been put out. Not a concern.

@paulmcleary Some one else said the fire was huge 🤦♂️
@paulmcleary Note that the shells manufactured in Scranton are just hunks of metal. They are shipped to Iowa where they are filled with explosives.
@paulmcleary there was also a fire at an ammo plant in the UK today
@paulmcleary When a wise-ass reporter paraphrased Billy Joel whilst asking who started the fire, @PentagonPresSec deftly deferred to the Army because, "We didn't start the fire."
