The fire that destroyed the Glendale Internal Revenue Service office, resulting in $1.5 million in damages March 3, was caused by arson, investigators said. “It was an intentional fire,” Glendale Fire Department spokesman John Orr said. Sheriff’s arson investigators say they have not established a link between the arson and the discovery Thursday of three pipe bombs at an IRS audit office in Culver City. The pipe bombs were dismantled by a Sheriff’s Department bomb squad.
