[Updated] Heavy FDNY presence on Broadway; Heather Graham's bathroom candles reportedly spark blaze

Several readers are sending us photos of the FDNY responding to a situation at East 13th Street and Broadway around 10:20 tonight ... no sign of smoke or flames.... per EVG reader John who sent these shots: "something going on — every type of truck, including hazmat, is here..."



Updated:
Well! Thanks to the readers for the links... The Post reports that the fire started in actress Heather Graham's penthouse.

[Via the Post]

Per the Post:

A blazing fire in the sexy actress’ Union Square pad was sparked when burning candles left on her bathtub ignited nearby clothes, according to FDNY officials.

The fire in the 12th-floor Broadway home started at about 10 p.m. and took 45 minutes to put out.

“It was candles that maybe caught some clothes that were left near the tub,” said FDNY Chief John Bley.

    840 Broadway... high-rise multiple dwelling fire. Requires response of 5 engines, 5 ladders, plus more.

    There's a report of two dead... BUT that might be from a fire at about the same time in Queens. My bet is Queens for the fatalities.

    840 is the building immediately south (next door) to Forbidden Planet (which is on the corner)

    If she "rushed back to the apartment" does that mean she left them burning unattended?

    Heather Graham lives at 840 Broadway!? Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit stalking.

    Did she just move here? She was in the shop last week and I'd never heard of her being around at all before then. Not that I pay much attention. Anyhow-- OOPS. I hope the people below her apartment aren't SOL.

    The blaze smelled like Herbes de Provence. Heather must use scented candles.
