UPDATE #1 ON FIRE DOWN BELOW ON E. 3RD STREET

The FDNY is battling fires in Con Ed manholes on E. 3rd Street, between Church Avenue and Albemarle Road.

The entire block has been closed off. Most of the homes are without electricity. Also affected are homes on E. 3rd between Albemarle Road and Caton Avenue.

The FDNY had been going door-to-door to check for carbon monoxide when the second manhole caught fire.

Advice: unplug all appliances that have a compressor, such as a refrigerator, in case of a power surge.

Thanks, CEM and MMA, for the info.
