Trash can fire in Tompkins Square Park

Been awhile since we've seen a good trash can fire... oh, anyway...

Per a reader here at Seventh Street and Avenue A:

Maybe not newsworthy, but a cool sight. Most people didn't care but of course some corny suburban chick and her friend called 311 or whatever, with a smug "I'm doing what's right" look on their face. Fire truck soon came and easily put it out.
