Black Smoke Over Mongomery Street

Sunday at around 3:50 the intersection of Montgomery & Albany fill up with the blearing sirens of Fire Trucks which were responding to a call for black smoke rising from the roof of the building on the corner. The FDNY came down with full force and put up 2 ladders on the roof and a group of fire fighters charged into the building through the back door, busting it down, and going in to find… a boiler!

Since this building is an older building the boiler it uses is still an old one and the superintendent of the building was turning it on for the first time that day, so this boiler coughs up some white smoke then black smoke (and if you see green don’t be surprised) and someone seeing this thought it was a fire, but B”H it was not. And B”H we have such a vigilant Fire Fighter force which was there instantly just in case it really would have been a fire.
