5 ALARM FIRE IN FLATBUSH AVE D AND E 29 ST (BROOKLYN,NY)

[NYGHTCRUZER]

unbelieveable how a fire can start in one apartment and yet engulf a whole entire building.

the tenant of the apartment where the fire started should be sued, and jailed, because of his stupididty all these innocent people lost their possesions and home. A voodoo ceremonry, please stupid ass man

according to the news this was a voodoo ceremony to give the woman in the apartment good luck, somehow the bed lines caught fire.

I dont think it worked.....people really need to be careful with candels in their homes. this is not a joke.

And this is a post-war building too (late 50s/early 60s) - a total loss. Kudos to the FDNY for keeping this fire contained - there are homes close-in on all sides, and the wind was certainly a factor.

This is what happens when manpower is reduced. A so called routine fire may be no big deal but adding an aggravating factor like high wind and the forces are sperad too thin to get a quick handle on the situation. Get ready NYC bigger fires coming to a block near you.
