Tuesday on the corner of Albany Ave. & President St. there was an explosion in a manhole on the corner of President St. and Albany Ave., the cover was blown off and FDNY responded and taped off the area and advised ConEd on the situation, who responded within a half an hour and began fixing what had exploded. The crew just arrived from Park Slope where they had restored power after small outage in that area.
