Today in trash can fires

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

It was an East Village flashback of sorts today on Third Street and Avenue B with a random trash can fire.

A worker from a nearby business doused the flames with a few buckets of water before the FDNY got there (in a hurry, btw).
So what happens to the melted trash can?
The FDNY says Sanitation will take care of it.

    At some point this summer I was walking toward the corner of 10th st, just past Apollo Bagels. I saw a little smoke coming from a building garbage can. Someone had put a still lit cigarette in the top, where there were papery things. I pulled them out and stomped on them. But jeez man! What’s with people?!
