I was playing poker there and left just as the fire started. A dozen Borgata people ran by me then out the back door by the poker surface parking lot. Someone else must have reported it but we seemed to be first on the scene. I was standing there with them watching the building about 200' away. Something fell first with a loud bang then some wispy smoke started coming out. I watched about another 10 minutes then left. They were letting people walk out the back and go to their cars up until I left. Tons of cop cars and fire trucks were arriving as I left and most of the roads were starting to get blocked. The fire got worse after I left but it didn't do much real damage. According to reports just some flammable unsheathed material burnt that is easily replaceable.
