E 18th Street Fire Sends One To Hospital

A fire broke out on the ground floor of 83 E 18th Street (between Church Avenue and Tennis Court) just after 8pm last night, says a spokesman for the FDNY. A call was received at 8:03pm, and firefighters were on scene at 8:06, bringing the blaze under control at 8:26.

The four story building was already vacant because of a fire at the same address in June, but the FDNY says one civilian was still taken to an area hospital with minor injuries. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
