This is the 2nd fire in Brooklyn Heights. One on Henry off Clark was right before Thanksgiving. Spoke with firefighter about it just a couple days ago. He said it was really fast moving. These old buildings go up like matchsticks. But there was no loss of life or injuries. Our FDNY got the job done.
