A reader sent in this shot of a fire this morning in a house on Prospect Place in Crown Heights. According to our reader, it doesn’t seem like anyone was home and the fire was extinguished, but a firefighter who appeared to suffer burns was taken away in an ambulance. The house is between Kingston and Albany.
OMG. One of the firemen hurt in the fire is “clinging to life” with burns over 40% of his body. Horrible. This was no ordinary house fire. I bet there was some kind of hoarding up on the second floor.
A fire like that, shooting out the windows is indicative of a lot of clutter inside the house. Fortunately the old masonry party walls (and the NYFD) contained the fire to the one house.
