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.
