[Updated] Fire on First Street

EV Grieve reader Bread Butter Cheese passed along word of fire trucks on First Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue early this morning.. it looked as if firefighters were walking on the rooftop of the building that housed the recently shuttered Elephant....



A reader originally thought it may be a false alarm... However, per a commenter:

Not a false alarm! I live the building and there was a fire on the first floor. It filled the entire stairwell with smoke and everyone had to use the fire escapes. I heard everyone got out of the building safely.
