Russian Embassy fire? Smoke on the Water? Burning down the house?

Looks like they've been busy before vacating this weekend!
<< Firefighters who arrived at the scene were turned away by consulate officials who came from inside the building.
An Associated Press reporter heard people who came from inside the building tell firefighters that there was no problem and that consulate staff were burning unidentified items in a fireplace.
Mindy Talmadge, a spokeswoman from the San Francisco Fire Department, said the department received a call about the smoke and sent a crew to investigate but determined the smoke was coming from the chimney.
"They had a fire going in their fireplace," she said.
Talmadge said she did not know what they were burning on a day when normally cool San Francisco temperatures had already climbed to 95 degrees by noon.
"It was not unintentional. They were burning something in their fireplace," she said.>>

Sounds like they were burning
Sounds like they were burning the Trump files before they got the boot by US government.
Nothing says fraud and conspiracy quite like a suspicious fire.
They were burning the folders labeled "Opposition research 2016 USA elections"

Standard operating procedure
Standard operating procedure before any sort of embassy shut down or take over. Many embassies have special incinerators for just this sort of the thing, so I am surprised the Russians had to resort to using a fireplace.
Russian media (for what is worth) is saying US security services plan on coming in tomorrow to search:
