Firefighters Battle Four-Alarm Fire In The Bronx

2009_12_bx204fire.jpg Around 4:30 a.m., huge fire started in a store at East 204th Street near Bainbridge Avenue in the Bronx—and it spread to neighboring stores. According to WABC 7, "Heavy flames shot through the roof of several of the businesses. The Foodtown supermarket, American Diner, and Bainbridge Dental Associates were all damaged by the flames." And WCBS 2 reports that there were no injuries but "The early morning wind may have complicated rescue efforts against the blaze." In October, a five-alarm fire damaged businesses on Bainbridge Avenue near East 204th Street for the 2nd time this year.

    The first fire was the last thing the neighborhood needed this just adds to the problems. So sad, but at least last two remaining pubs have not been hit by this.

    They say lightening never strikes twice, but then again I believe they were talking about lightening caused by nature.
