106 firefighters, 25 units, eh wot? There's a firehouse 200 feet away.
To see it you'd have thought the fires was in the subway stop at the corner. 5 lanes of east bound traffic blocked off.
That bagel place sucked anyway, so does Gotta Get A Bagel. Those in the know are aware that there is only one bagel place in FH worth going to.
Bukharian lightning?
Now let's see if the Rego Forest Preservation Council (?)...whatever...will be documenting this historical event in 12 megapixel living color photos (LOL).
