That was quickly put under control... Doesn't look like much damage.. They had contractors on the scene . I wonder what they were working on ?🤔
That looks like a beautiful neighborhood
And 2 months ago,in Coney Island on Neptune Ave and like west 30th. A whole electrical pole went down with the wires. Started a massive fire,multiple cars burned to the ground. Fdny couldn’t put out the fire until con Ed turned off the power to the wires
Saw this happen a month ago on avenue o and East 9th. This will keep happening until infrastructure is updated. Con ed I believe are the ones who are supposed to fix this
