Today in makeshift fire pits by the Hare Krishna tree in Tompkins Square Park

Top two photos by Joe; FDNY pic by Steven 

We were told some "kids" (teens) decided to start a campfire of sorts by the Hare Krishna tree in the center of Tompkins Square Park (and just as the rain started around 5:15 p.m.) 

The FDNY was there in minutes to extinguish the small blaze...
EVG reader Joe did get yelled at for taking the top photo instead of putting out the fire (even as the FDNY was already in the Park)...

I only wish the "kids" had been caught and required to do community service in cleaning and taking care of the park, however briefly. If you have a personal investment in public spaces, you treat them with care.

Look at that, FDNY puts a tiny blaze down in minutes and the fatcat-funded NYPD can't find a guy who did multiple shootings in the park.
