BPR: July 4th Midnight Blaze at Henry Street Deli

A fire broke out in the stairwell leading to the residence at 13 Henry Street, directly above the Henry Street Deli. Nobody was injured in the blaze and the exact cause of the fire is still unknown. The majority of the fire damage was contained within the now charred stairwell, although the upstairs residence and Henry Street Deli sustained significant smoke and water damage. The fire likely began 10-20 minutes before the video on the right was taken by a North Street resident at 1:06am who saw and heard signs of the fire in the early hours of the morning. Jon Cahoon, better known by his nickname Bear, says "It was pretty wild, we saw the glow and smoke in the sky so we ran over from North Street. We made sure somebody already called the police then some wires started to snap so we took a step back. The fire department showed up shortly after and they killed that thing, it was was mostly out after a few minutes". Nobody knows when the building will be back in working order, but we wish the residents and the frying pans at Henry Street Deli a speedy recovery.
