An electrical fire started in KSClandmark VAB on Thursday, forcing NASA to evacuate 270 people.
No injuries were reported. The space shuttle's 15-story external tank and twin solid rocket boosters for NASA's first post-Columbia mission in May were not damaged. No orbiters were in the building.

Yes - this one this week seems to have been 'minor' though I'd like know more details of it.
