This video was posted on YouTube by forevrblsd1 of the three-alarm fire in Crown Heights, Brooklyn a week ago. There are still pictures from the fire by Adam Alberto at NJFirePictures.com. The website has this description of the fire:
At around 10:30 A.M. on March 1st Brooklyn Box 1016 was transmitted for a fire in the basement of a laundromat at 325 Troy Ave between Union and President Sts. Upon arrival the 10-75 was transmitted and the fire quickly went to all hands. Firefighters were forced to withdraw from the building due to a partial collapse. A second alarm followed shortly by a 3rd Alarm was transmitted. Heavy fire conditions raced through the 1 story taxpayer.
It took about 150 firefighters nearly three hours to battle the flames at Laundry World on Troy Avenue. They say it began in the basement at around 10:30 a.m. and gutted the Laundromat, but did not spread to neighboring homes.
Fire officials say no injuries were reported.
