On the morning of April 5, a sanitation truck caught fire on Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn, resulting in a significant mess of debris including wet cardboard, plastic bags, and newspapers across the area. Local photographer Bob Ahern captured the aftermath visually, while citizen app video showed firefighters responding to the scene by hosing down the smoking vehicle and addressing the burning remnants. Fortunately, the FDNY extinguished the fire, and there were no reported injuries, although the cause of the blaze remains unknown.
