Video: Close Encounters Above Central Park?
We don't put up every 10-75 that comes in on the Gothamist Newsmap, but we rarely get pictures like these-- sent in by Patrick just after midnight. We're still trying to find out the cause of the fire-- it occurred a little too late in the evening to be a turkey-fry gone wrong.

Weird...I used to live right near there up until a few months ago.
It's hard to say by the photos but I'd say the source was the tire repair place at that intersection. I understand in the auto-service industry you can't be perfectly clean all the time but that place was pretty filthy and cramped. If there were flammable materials in there, I'd see it as pretty easy for a leaky something to go unnoticed.
this is next door to my current apartment...well, as of last night. thank god no one was home in either of the two places beside the tire shop that was the cause of the fire.
paul's apt...so hot right now.
who knew so many gothamist commenters lived in such close proximity? i used to live on 16th and 4th, were the two houses the burnt down the ones that had the huge "$200 dollar real estate" signs on them?
