Walked by this morning... no one was around... the sidewalk gates were up... there was a post-fire smell coming from the basement... couldn't really tell the extent of any damage...

    While watching from the corner I spoke to a man who lives in the building. He said his lights started flickering and that it smelled like an electrical fire so he evacuated. He said this is the second time something like this happened in the building.
