8E sends along this photo from a fire earlier this evening at 55 E. 9th St. (between Broadway and University) ... don't know the extent of the damage just yet...
I happened to be riding by this in a cab to see floor-to-ceiling flames engulfing the entire front window of what I think was a fourth floor unit, just one minute before responders arrived. I was on my bike today, and it looked as though that unit was completely destroyed, with smoke and probably water damage to the bordering units on three sides.
I live opposite and saw it. Apparently no one home. I heard could be electrical cause but that is a rumor. I hope the surrounding apartments weren't so damaged. A lot of smoke and water! To anonymous above: I hope your apartment was not greatly affected.

Seventh floor apartment. Mine is directly below on 6.

My father lives in the building- Hairdryers and other tools that overloaded a power strip caused the fire.
BE CAREFUL!
To the person who lived under this apartment on the 6th floor…was your apartment damaged at all?
