All-Hands Fire Saturday At East 23rd Street And Campus Road

For those on the southern end of the neighborhood, you probably noticed a bunch of siren activity on Saturday night. There was an all-hands fire on East 23rd Street and Campus Road. By the time we arrived, it was under control:

We saw a man being taken into an ambulance by police. Neighbors at the scene say he lived in the house and allegedly set the blaze himself, but we have not been able to confirm that with the FDNY or NYPD. The same thing apparently happened this past summer.
