The FDNY responded to the scene of a fire on East Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B tonight around 8 ... where a pile of discarded Christmas trees caught fire in front of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer... Many thanks to EVG reader Francis Ratna for these shots before the FDNY arrived in force... one neighborhood super helped extinguish the flames ...
There weren't any reports of injuries or any further damage. Another reader noted that firefighters were checking out rooftops on the block for any errant embers...

this event did yield GREAT photos
Wow! Amazing photos; I hope no one was injured. The second photo with the bike tire on fire is absolutely incredible. (Can we have a photo prize for best photo not by Grieve posted on the blog this year?!?!)
Francis, what did you use to shoot these?
And that's our super - Ricki - putting out the fire before the Fire Dept. arrived - yeah!
I don't think anyone was injured.
I took the photos on a Nexus 4 using the HDR mode.
Great pics francis
I'm thinking Gruber MacDougal had a hand in this. #Pyromaniac
Very cool pics.
1) Great photos...
2) This might give ideas to the anti-bicycle folks on 5th street
How is this not a hate crime. If they burned menorahs or qurans, the Village Voice would be pissing purple.
Wow. I agree, great pics!
