A reader sent along this picture of a fire happening in Park Slope, adding “Looked out my window at 1 Hanson a few minutes ago and grabbed this shot… not sure what was on fire, but it looks like it’s out now. Probably burned for 10-15 minutes.” It looks like this was caused from a brownstone blaze at 7th Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Street, first reported by Gothamist. They think it is at 196 7th Avenue and that the fire may have emanated from the roof. Please send along any more info if you have it… Update from OTBKB: No injuries and the occupants have been allowed to return to the building. Another reader tells us it was the Tarzian Housewares building on fire, possibly just the roof and top apartment. He says: “FDNY was super quick to extinguish the fire.”
