Felton Davis, who lives on this block, said: "Congratulations to the FDNY for the speed with which they arrived and got this one under control... Many buildings, including ours, are over 100 years old, and it wouldn't take much for a fire to spread."Manhattan All Hands Box 0422, 91 E 3 ST, MULTIPLE DWELLING A, APT 11-KITCHEN, Under Control

I saw that happening I could not believe people who were living in the building were looking out of thier windows watchinginstead of leaving the building??
Years ago, a fire occurred two flours above us on Fourth Street. The FDNY advised us to stay in our apts. so as not to interfere with the fireman and their equipment. Further advised to stay near the window by our fire escape until further notice. FDNY did a wonderful job of containing the fire. This is why you saw people in the building looking out their windows and not leaving the building.
