Fire trucks lined up on Avenue B last night a little after 9... here between Ninth Street and 10th Street, in front of the Christodora House... Bob Arihood was on the scene ... he passed along the photos and a narrative...
"... apparently a burning cigarette lodged itself in a sidewalk expansion joint and started a smoldering fire in some combustable packing or form spacer material. Locating the smoldering smoke-producing ember which was kept burning by the natural upward draft of the tall Christodora building took some time. FDNY personnel finally located the burning ember and extingushed it."

And smokers think they don't affect anyone.. . . Walking the streets includes dodging swaying cigarettes in peoples' hands, and butts being thrown about like the sidewalk is a garbage can for flames. And this is not just one age group doing this.
I was walking on 1st Avenue near Blackhound Bakery when someone flicked a lit cigarette from an open window down to the pavement and it almost hit me. WTF!!
