Fire On New York Ave. and Union St.

At 9:30pm last night there was a fire on the corner of Union and New York.

Most of the building’s inhabitants are black, but there are a few jewish family’s that live there as well.

This building was recently purchased by a jewish business man and this is the second fire since he has purchased it.

The last fire was blamed on a faulty extension cable that heated up and caught fire, destroying 3 apartments on the fourth floor and causing some heavy exterior damage to the roof and roof gutters.

Last night’s fire was on the third floor and was relatively small and caused very little damage thanks to extremely fast fire department response which were there in minutes and had subdued the fire in minutes

3 fire companies had come to the scene, a total of 6 fire engines, 3 ladders and 3 pumping trucks and there were 6 fire chiefs on site as well!

There were no reported injuries.
