If you don’t recognize the building, it’s the corner building and The Little Cupcake Shop is on 3rd Avenue. The bakery is closed due to the fire. News story:
See video:
Richard Martin, an 89-year-old Bay Ridge resident was critically injured in this fire that started in his apartment.
His friend shared that he has third degree burns on many parts of his body. The apartment was full of smoke and that hurt his lungs. The doctors put Richie into a medically induced coma and intubated him.
If you are the praying type, please pray for Richie.
Unfortunately, Richie’s cat did not survive the fire.
