You can hear the sirens of more engines going down to Dyker.
There is smell in the air all the way in Bay Ridge. The smoke was so thick around the homes.
The fire went on until 5:00 am.
A cat is missing. Thankfully, no human lives were lost. Some people and firefighters were injured.

Question for people with firefighting knowledge. When the firefighters arrive do they wet down the adjacent houses to try to prevent spreading or do they just concentrate on the building that is burning? After rescuing people of course.
