I just discovered news of this fire that began 24 hours ago. Other NYC records and irreplaceable JFK photos already lost in storage on 9/11. Barb --------------------------------------------- Fire rips through Brooklyn warehouse Saturday, burning city and state records The fire started just before 6:30 a.m. at the Williamsburg warehouse near the East River. Firefighters spent more than eight hours trying to get the flames under control, which were fueled by four million boxes of records, including records for the city's public hospitals, New York State courts and the Administration for Children's Services. BY Barry Paddock NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Saturday, January 31, 2015, 10:03 AM Firefighters were battling a stubborn seven-alarm inferno that ripped through a Brooklyn waterfront warehouse Saturday afternoon, fueled by mountains of records from city agencies. The FDNY was first called to the CitiStorage facility on N. 11th St. by the East River in Williamsburg about 4:30 a.m. for a small fire in shelving unit, officials said. By the time emergency responders arrived, sprinklers had nearly extinguished the fire, which firefighters fully doused. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/fire-rips-brooklyn-warehouse-saturday-morning-article-1.2098735
