Some background info on the fire can be found here. Arson investigators have not determined the cause of the blaze.

There have been a lot of allegations of voter registration fraud in Harris county, which usually votes Democrat. Perry's opponent Bill White is former mayor of Houston. Latest polling says Perry holds a single digit lead in the race.
