Over the weekend a fire tore through the back-lot at NBC Universal Studios and destroyed several sets, including some of the New York outdoor sets used for “King Kong” as well as a New England town set that was used for “Back to the Future” and currently is being used for “Ghost Whisperer.”

“Ghost Whisperer” has 8 sets on the lot, and preliminary reports say 2 were either damaged or destroyed. Most likely these are the outdoor town sets that the show used for the fictional town of Grandview, but that is not known.

The video archival vault was also damaged, but statements have been made that anything damaged or destroyed had copies in other vaults elsewhere.

Final reports on the cause and the amount of damage has not been released as of yet.
