We're learning more about last night's fire at 227 E. 11th St.
The heavily damaged apartment in the building belonged to Dev Hynes, a British singer, composer and songwriter who has written for The Chemical Brothers and Sky Ferreira and tours now as Blood Orange. He took to his Twitter account today to report the losses that he suffered...
Last night, the unthinkable happened. My entire apt burnt down while I was out. I've lost everything I own, including scores, hard drives...

We haven't heard about any cause of the fire.
Here's an interview with Hynes last month in the Times.

Ugh. Heartbreaking.
You can replace "things" but never the love of a devoted pet/companion. I pray for Cupid and poor Mr. Hynes.
Damn.
Man what a sad story my dry cold heart is breaking here. Mr. Hynes comes across as such an honest fine-quality fellow in that interview. Don't know what to offer other than my prayer for him to recover from all this as easily as possible, whatever that is.
Sad that whilst watching this a little doggy was dying :(
I could be wrong but I think I saw him last night eating dinner at Blue Ribbon. If it was him, its unreal how a guy can be enjoying dinner and a few blocks away his whole life is going up in flames.
If it wasn't him it is still an awful situation and feel really sorry for him.
So sad. And that dog looks like it was just a tiny puppy.
Does anyone know anything about damage to other apartments in the building? I have a good friend who lives in that building and she is out of town. I wonder if she knows about this.
I am so sorry for you loss, Mr. Hynes, I cannot even begin to imagine the heartbreak. RIP, Cupid, you little sweetie, I hope you are someplace in sunshine with other puppies and lots of toys and treats.
