That's slightly different from what the story says ("The Mayor said it is his understanding that the fire was 'intentional' ").
So it's not his understanding, he's just relaying what he heard from someone else. Did he name any of these "officials" ? Or did he at least say what agency they're from?
Why does this story paraphrase Mr. Turner as saying "the fire was 'intentional'" without showing the full, direct quote?
The quote is him saying his understanding is that officials believe it was intentional.
