Fire in the manhole!
Firefi ghters rushed to
contain a blaze burning
below a Gerritsen Beach
street after an underground
electrical transformer
ignited the night of
Nov. 19.
A caller reported smoke
billowing from a Knapp
Street manhole in front of
a gas station near Gerritsen
Avenue at 10:35 pm, according
to a Fire Department
spokesman, who said members
of New York’s Bravest
dispatched to the scene
shut off a nearby gas pipe
and cordoned off the hole as
fl ames and fog shot out of it.
But the fi refi ghters
couldn’t put out the transformer
fi re because the
department doesn’t hose
down electrical equipment,
the spokesman said, so they
called workers with utility
provider Con Edison, which
maintains the infrastructure,
who arrived later and
shut the equipment down
before starting to repair it,
a company rep said.
The transformer’s spontaneous
combustion injured
no one, did not require
any evacuations, and
did not result in any power
outages, according to Con
Ed rep Alfonso Quiroz,
who on Nov. 20 said repairs
to the infrastructure are
ongoing.
The company is still investigating
the cause of the
blaze, Quiroz said.
flavor — dabbing off the
grease with a napkin
somehow diminished its
blend of cheese and sauce,
which came on a crust
with just the right amount
of chew. This was the pizza
for me, and I celebrated by
devouring every bite, and
then getting back in line
to bring my editor the special:
two slices and a can of
soda for $2.75. In exchange
for three dollars, the proprietors
gave me the required
two wedges, a Coke,
and a coin which turned
out to be 20 Malaysian Sen.
I still feel like I came out
ahead.
