Stanton Street Fire
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
I heard many fire engines rushing east on East Houston street this morning. I went out to investigate. There was a serious fire in the housing project on Stanton Street between Pitt and Columbia Streets. I’d say it was about the 15th floor, higher than fire hoses can reach, but the fire department got in under control quickly. At least 4 apartments above the original fire were seriously damaged, probably more had water damage. A neighbor was saying that this is the third fire recently in the housing projects in the neighborhood.
Whoa! Looks bad. Hope everyone’s okay.
I haven’t heard anything about that, yeah hope so too.
Red Cross volunteers and staff responded, and provided assistance.
No human was harmed, unfortunately some pets were.
Ah, that’s a shame. Thanks Rachel.
Sorry to learn that. Very sad, especially for the families who lost their beloved animals. Tragic.
