A mop head stored in a closet beside a hot water heater burns briefly this morning around 9:30am at Revolutionary Soup.

The fire is quickly put out, the damage minimal and the Charlottesville Fire Department ventilates the basement eatery.

The souperie will be open for lunch. And today’s special: blackened tilipia salad, according to owner Will Richey’s blog.
