There are multiple reader reports of another fire last night around 11:45 ... best estimates at this point puts it at 129 Seventh St. above the Peter Jarema Funeral Home... as of this time, we do not have any details on the extent of damage or injuries. One reader reports hearing breaking glass and a woman screaming, "is he alive! Is he alive!"
We'll certainly have more on this as the day progresses
Updated: Per DNAinfo — "A blaze began on the first floor of a five-story East Vilage residential building at 7th Street and First Avenue just before midnight, an FDNY spokesman said. The fire was contained to one apartment and was put out by 12:13 a.m., officials said. One firefighter was transported to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center for minor injuries after working on the East Village blaze."

ReplyDeleteDoesn't Ray live in that building?
ReplyDeletewhat is going on?
ReplyDeleteThe women was shouting about her dog. The firemen and a paramedic were giving the dog oxygen and he seemed to be ok around 12:30 last night.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting past the point of weirdness and into the eerie zone. Are our buildings really that much more flammable, and our residents that much more careless, than those of other neighborhoods?
ReplyDeleteAnimal people - get those stickers for your front doors that let firefighters know what kind of and how many critters you have inside!
Man...
ReplyDeleteChicks and there frickin "scented" and "decorative votive candles"
Use a lightbulb like the rest of us. This is getting out of control!

ReplyDeleteHey, anon 1:55 (or, I believe, CHRIS), please be crazy somewhere else.
ReplyDelete-H
Oh oh. BlueGlass must run one of the groovy shops where all the chicks go to buy their frickin scented and votive candles. What's the matter? 'fraid my comments will hurt your business? Yeah, that's right... you'd better run!
ReplyDeleteEvery fire in this town is started by chicks and their frickin scented and votive candles. There must be an end to these chicks and their frickin scented and votive candles before it's too late!
