We woke up around 6AM to the sound of helicopters flying overhead.

“it’s either police helicopters or news helicopters,” Hepcat said.

I was in the city most of the morning but found out just now from PS Patch that there was a terrible fire in a brownstone on Fifth Avenue at Carroll Street around 6AM, which left a 60-year-old woman critically injured. She’s now at Methodist Hospital.

According to Patch, 60 firefighters were on the scene and they had the blaze out within an hour. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
