From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part III: Fire!
I have received a number of inquiries about this as I was knocking about north Brooklyn this afternoon. While I do not know much I will share what little I do know: it is a 2 -4 alarm fire at a warehouse on Moultrie Street. I have word Aaron Short has been on the scene and plans to write up what information he has gathered. If/when this comes to pass I will post a link to his tome here.

Live From Green Street: FIRE!
Today has proven to be an eventful one for yours truly. First there was my sojourn around north ‘Point culminating in pointing out chicanery at 400 McGuinness Boulevard to an employee of the Department of Buildings and, as of fifteen minutes ago, it was doing a little grocery shopping only to discover a rather large fire on Green Street between Provost Street and McGuinness Boulevard. I have put out feelers to learn exactly what happened, but in the meantime I will share with you another account from another woman who happens to be named Heather!
She writes:
See attached photos. There are literally about 20 fire trucks and about 15 ambulances! Seems that they got it out, but there might be a lot of injuries. NUTS!!!
If anyone has the 411 on what happened please share via comments or email at missheather 9at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Thanks!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Fire At The Viridian?
It just goes to show that when I take a vacay from the neighborhood all hell breaks loose. First it was getting above ground (from the G) to hear the sound of women screaming at each other on Huron Street. Then my buddy Kerry told me that he heard two people fell out of the window at the Viridian. When I got home the following was awaiting my reading pleasure in my inbox. Nancy writes:
The boy just called to let me know the Viridian is on fire. I’m at work and the carnage will probably be under control by the time I get out. Please take some pretty pictures for me!
Does anyone have the 411 on what happened? If so please share via comments or email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Your identity will remain anonymous if you so desire.
Thanks!

UPDATE, September 9, 2010:
an anonymous tipster (who forwarded me the above photograph) writes:
Fire was on 3rd floor and only appeared to be 1 or possibly 2 apartments.
BREAKING: Fire At 1115 Manhattan Avenue
When I heard the sirens I knew something was up. When this kept going on for a good five minutes I knew it was bad. So I tossed on my coat and headed down to see what’s up.
It certainly looks bad. In the meantime here’s what little I know (courtesy of Jake Dobkin— thanks!): it is a 2 alarm fire and a resident of this building is being treated for injuries. Exactly what those injuries are has yet to be determined. Yikes!
