At least 20 firefighters are fighting the blaze, the cause of which is still yet to be determined.

I always wonder how will.i.am feels sometimes, being like the real workaholic in the group. I think if you take away Fergie and will.i.am, the group is finished. Fergie is the spice that has helped them gain pop recognition in the last couple of years. Before Fergie they were not selling millions. Fergie released her solo effort (The Dutchess) in 2006 and sold over 3 million copies in the U.S alone. will.i.am released his own solo effort, "Songs About Girls" a year after in 2007, and he didn't even make it to the one million mark.

Personally, i think they are great together, but i am really getting tired of the beat switching style that has now become will.i.am's signature. It used to be cool, but it gets tiring after a while. He needs to let people recognize one song for a particular beat, instead of having two beats for one song.
