In the early hours of June 6, a four-alarm fire engulfed residential buildings on Fifth Avenue, displacing 35 tenants but thankfully causing no human injuries. The blaze drew significant attention for its intensity, with accounts describing the echoes of the flames as deafening. As crews assessed damages, it was revealed that extensive repairs would take over a year, while the community mourned the loss of pets. Security measures have been challenged by break-ins at the destroyed properties, reflecting ongoing concerns about the situation.
"It sounded like a microphone was up to a campfire. It was so fucking loud." - Madeleine Buzbee, describing the intense noise of the fire.
