Tracy Morgan's Fishy Fire

Posted Feb 18th 2009 1:24PM by TMZ Staff

Tracy MorganSources tell TMZ an apartment belonging to "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan caught fire early this morning ... and the source of the fire was a bunch of fish.

We're told the fire started after a light bulb in one of Tracy's fish tanks busted, which ignited the blaze. ALL OF THE FISH SURVIVED!

The fire did extensive damage. We're told Tracy was home at the time but, like the fish, he wasn't injured. FDNY responded three minutes after getting the call at 8:34 AM.

Story developing ...

4. Tracey added to a lot of the TV shows on which the play was made. Fish can be make out of the door so lucky for them. If more are there they can be for lack of the time.

9. Bet it was a salt water tank that wasn't cleaned well and often. That salt will build up on those cords and start corroding the wires even down to the outlet.

10. Something very similar happened to my family last year when our fish tank light hood caught fire and I let loose with the fire extinguisher and the liquid killed all the fish but my house ended up being ok. Now we don't have any fish and never will again.
