At first, the 25-year-old bartender assumed someone had cranked up the fog machine.
The fire, which police are investigating as an act of arson, has sent shockwaves through a queer nightlife community that has suffered a string of tragedies in recent months. Just half a dozen people were inside at the time of the incident, witnesses said. Glenn suffered second degree burns on the face and lips and remained hospitalized on Tuesday. Another person who was set to DJ later that evening was also hospitalized with minor injuries.
