Apparently there was a burning smell in Brooklyn Heights last night. And the Brooklyn Bugle has the How ‘Bout that Smell? story this morning. Here’s an excerpt. You can read the rest at the Brooklyn Bugle:
We know now that the burning smell wafting over Brooklyn Heights last night came from a Jersey City junkyard fire. But that didn’t stop me and Baby Fink from thinking that the entire neighborhood was on fire during our 4am feeding (which is just an extension of the midnight feeding… can I get a witness, parents?). Apparently we weren’t alone in our paranoia as BHB reader Lois writes…
I recommend visiting the web site for Notify NYC (http://www.nyc.gov/notifynyc), “the City of New York’s official source for information about emergency events and important City services,” and signing up for free alerts via email, SMS or phone. The city sent out a message early on explaining that the source of the smoke odor was the Jersey City fire.
