A fire damaged the second-floor deck of Tom Clancy’s home on Saturday, the Maryland fire marshal’s office said. Clancy was home at the time, but was not injured in the noon blaze, fire marshal’s spokesman Joe Zurolo said.
“The smoke alarms are what alerted him to the fact there was a fire,” Zurolo said.
The cause of the fire, which caused about $10,000 in damage to the rear of the three-story stone home, has not been determined, Zurolo said.
The home is on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay about 30 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.
Clancy is the author of thrillers including “The Hunt for Red October,” ‘’Patriot Games,” and “Clear and Present Danger.”
Former “Quincy, M.E.” star Jack Klugman has sued NBC Universal, claiming the studio is lying about the show’s profits and owes him money.
Klugman, 85, played the crime-busting Dr. R. Quincy on the show from 1976 to 1983.
His 1976 contract with NBC entitles him and his company, Sweater Productions, to 25 percent of the show’s “net profits,” according to the suit filed in Superior Court. Klugman claims his copy of the contract was lost when his agent died, and NBC has refused to provide a copy.
