An RRV caught fire - while doing maintenance, obviously. Some of the masonry (or at least its surface layers) has been fragilised, so bits keep falling off.

Ah, thanks. The comms staff concerned, restricted by the options in the drop-downs provided by Tyrell, are perhaps struggling to convey that situation.
