A steamy situation on 10th and B

The FDNY has paid two visits to 10th Street and Avenue B this morning. 

The firefighters arrived around 7:15 after a report of a possible fire in the curbside dining structure at Soda Club. However, we're told there wasn't actually any fire. 

An EVG reader who shared these photos reported that the FDNY returned around 8:50 as residents spotted steam coming up from below the structure. The firefighters (and likely some Con Ed folks are on the way) are now focusing on a wider swath of Avenue B and 10th Street.

Friday's parting shot

A PSA on Third Street between Avenue A and First Avenue... per EVG reader Kait, who shared the photo: "Two manholes on this block were steaming from under parked cars. Appreciate FDNY signing it so we know it’s legit."

Steamy Friday

EVG regular Salim shares this photo from Tompkins Square Park this morning... with the always photogenic Con Ed power plant in the background. As of this writing, it's 18 degrees, which according to the Weather Channel "feels like" 12.

Steamy Saturday

At least on 10th Street and Avenue A where Con Ed (continues) to work... thanks to Brian Orce for the photo!
