Massive blaze starts in Brooklyn Laundromat, rips through 4 commercial buildings
A three-alarm fire ripped through four commercial buildings early Sunday in Brooklyn, said an FDNY official and witnesses.
The initial blaze started in a Laundromat on Blake Ave. near Fountain Ave. in East New York at 12:33 a.m., the FDNY official said. It quickly spread to a discount store, a deli and a pharmacy.
Maria Sarmpento lives across the street from the burning buildings. She thought a car was on fire when she saw the smoke.
