Fires Break Out in Cobble Hill
We received a tip last night at 7:29 p.m. that Smith Street was shut down with fire trucks outside of Brooklyn Industries at Atlantic Avenue. Our tipster said there was no visible smoke, but a plethora of firemen and trucks. No one seems to have an image yet, but we learned that another fire broke…
We received a tip last night at 7:29 p.m. that Smith Street was shut down with fire trucks outside of Brooklyn Industries at Atlantic Avenue. Our tipster said there was no visible smoke, but a plethora of firemen and trucks. No one seems to have an image yet, but we learned that another fire broke out this morning around 6:45 a.m. (this is an estimate) at Smith and Warren, at the new townhouses. Flickr user happyrobot captured the fire and uploaded the image to our Flickr pool. These are obviously two unrelated incidents, but does anyone out there in cyberspace know more about either fire? Let us know in the comments section.

Also, someone mentioned possible construction materials…
That section of the roof was very well appointed. Lots of tables, chairs, umbrellas, awnings, grills.
I haven’t seen construction happening over there for a while. It was probably just all the handsome outdoor furniture you were smelling.
RE: Senor FSRG + Location debating.
Yes, as others have said, those are the new townhouse type things that went in on Warren btw Smith and Court. Across the street from the Emergency Vet place. Next door to the carriage house that was a french restaurant for a year or two. And the puppy day care.
I was facing SE when I took the photos.
Here’s a map with a little fire icon on it:

“now please stop being a DICK and try to figure out where this really happened or just STFU”
What were you expecting? He/she is not merely a dick, but a BOWL of dicks!
so much arguing about a location. Boy, am I glad I never argue about such petty things 🙂
Okay, these aren’t the best, but…
I walked over the rooftops and I’m standing on the building above the meat market. So, the retaining wall you see in the foreground is the roof of the Starbucks building. I probably could’ve climbed over the wall and taken these from the roof of Starbucks building, but I’m kind of afraid of heights. (I know, TMI show me the pictures already.)

I’m not a fireman but I did see Backdraft, and it looks like the fire originated over on the right by the yellow thing. And it seems to have occurred only on the roof.
Clearly I have too much time on my hands today. Back to work.
fsrq – eff it, it’s friday and i’m going on vacation for the next 2 weeks so i’ll be as snarky as i wanna be.
Ok ok – got it now – the backs are the midblock rear of Smith – looking from Wycoff – sorry for my confusion
Thanks
see BOD all you have to do is be nice enough to explain instead of being a snarky…well…dick
Whoops. I always forget the damn K. I live on Smith.
OK, not to be a huge jerk, but karynb, if you live on WycKoff, you might want to learn how to spell the name of the street on which you live. Just sayin’.
