Fire burns down four stores on 13th Avenue
A fire that started approximately 9:00 AM on 13th Avenue claimed four stores and a temporary Skverer Shteeble in its path. The fire that continued to burn until 1:00 PM had overwhelmed the NYFD, especially since the first half hour they were unable to get water to the blaze due to a fire hydrant which was supposed to be replaced but was not. The Fire Department scrambled around the empty stump of an absent hydrant trying to figure out what to do. After 30 precious moments were wasted due to the missing hydrant, the FD finally pulled hoses from another street and got some water over. Here's an interesting concept, the hydrant can't be used to put out a fire, yet tickets for parking in front of a pump can still be issued!
