The fire that destroyed a Planned Parenthood facility in Tennessee on New Year's Eve was intentionally set, the Knoxville Fire Department said Thursday.
The fire took place just after 6:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve when firefighters responded to the facility with nine firefighting units and 30 fire department members. The blaze completely destroyed the building, the department said, calling it a "total loss."
The building was being renovated at the time of the fire, so it was closed for business and no injuries were reported, according to the fire department.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
