Structure Fire
in Derby
Weds, March
10th
For those of
you who are awake and listening to the fire at
3:20am, here is a photo taken from an iPhone
from one of our correspondents on scene...
...it is the
closest thing we have to a live streaming feed
of fires at the moment, but stay tuned...you
never know what's next around this place...
Location: 196
Derby Avenue.
Edit: We can now tell you that
it was Joe Matusovich on scene. Sometimes our
photographers do not want their name published
because of all the fame, fortune and paparazzi
that eventually follow them.
