The FDNY and Flatbush Hatzolah are at the scene of a second-alarm home fire on Avenue I and E. 23rd Street. The fire began at around 10:40 pm, and Hatzolah has treated at least two patients for non-life-threatening injuries.
Due to the heavy fire conditions, all FDNY personnel have been ordered out of the structure, effectively dooming it to complete obliteration from the flames.
An hour after the fire started, heavy flames still engulfed the entire structure.

very sad
One wonders why all those hockers were standing around when they obviously weren’t needed.
@147,
that’s out of line. you don’t know what it means (and should never ch”v) to lose your house in one night with everything in it. a bit more sensitivity would be appreciated.
With such a big fire I imagine that all personnel are needed as just in case. There might be people injured or burn cases in either occupants or firefighters from injuries etc.So it’s good to have a lot of people on hand when you’re dealing with a very big incident as this was.
