There was a fire at 461 Dean Street on June 9\. (Courtesy [Twitter/Norman Oder](https://twitter.com/AYReport/status/740610845336580096/photo/1?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=bklyner.com).)

A fire broke out at the[ world’s largest](http://pacificparkbrooklyn.com/living/?ref=bklyner.com) modular building Wednesday.

A small fire broke out on the seventh floor of[ 461 Dean Street](/?s=461+dean+street), part of the[ Pacific Park](/?s=pacific+park) development, on June 9 and was under control by 9am, according to the[ FDNY](https://twitter.com/FDNYAlerts/status/740530279350185984?ref=bklyner.com). This came after the FDNY had to respond to a incident on a crane at the site on June 3, according to [DNAinfo](https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160608/prospect-heights/fdny-called-2-small-fires-at-high-rise-under-construction-near-barclays?ref=bklyner.com).

The question of fires in modular housing [was raised ](/blog/2016/05/12/community-board-2-notes-461-dean-voting-irregularities/)during last month’s meeting of Community Board 2.

The FDNY says that the fire on June 9 is being investigated but no cause has been surmised yet, according to [DNAinfo.](https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160608/prospect-heights/fdny-called-2-small-fires-at-high-rise-under-construction-near-barclays?ref=bklyner.com)

> The developers of the building, Forest City Ratner Companies, said construction resumed as normal after Wednesday’s fire, which was contained to one apartment unit.

> “This morning, 461 Dean construction workers alerted the fire department about a small, isolated fire in one of the building’s apartment units. The fire was extinguished promptly and there were no injuries. We take construction site safety extremely seriously and will take steps to reinforce all safety protocols across the worksite,” FCRC spokeswoman Nicole Kolinsky said in a statement.

> The fire came five days after firefighters responded to the building because a cable sparked and began to smoke during a crane disassembly on Friday afternoon, FDNY officials said. That incident resulted in a violation — now resolved — from the Department of Buildings for “inadequate safety measures,” city records show.

> At around 5 pm on Friday, a resident near Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue told me, there was some kind of “electrical fire/explosion in the crane” being dismantled outside the 461 Dean (aka B2) modular building.

> “Our lights flickered a bit. The fire went down the wire about 12 stories and then stopped,” the resident reported. About five fire trucks arrived–no injuries were reported.
