Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989.

The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.
The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room.

Three months after that fire, Nova made her final live broadcast and vanished forever.

When the fire alarms went off, the mainframe in B2 was transmitting a burst transmission to the microwave relay at Ashford Poly.
