Monday's parting shot

There was a report of a fire this morning around 11:30 at 425 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue, prompting a sizable FDNY response. 

Witnesses told us they didn't see any visible flames, though there was a noticeable smell of smoke in the air. 

According to reports on the Citizen app, there were no injuries, and the cause remains under investigation. 

The 5-story building currently has a sidewalk bridge and scaffolding out front for "repair of existing facade," per Department of Buildings records. 

H/T Creature!
