Less than a month since hazardous conditions in an illegal basement-level matzo factory at 475 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg led to the mass evacuation of a couple of hundred tenants, a fire broke out early yesterday morning at another underground facility just down the road at 799 Kent Avenue. When we went by at around lunchtime, the fire had been put out but a few firemen were still hanging around. None of them were particularly forthcoming with details about how the fire started.
