Two Alarm Fire This Morning At 486 McDonald Avenue

A fire broke out in the basement of 486 McDonald Avenue (between Church Avenue and Avenue C) early this morning, says a spokesman for the FDNY. He says an initial call was received at 4:57am about the fire, which grew to two alarm status at 5:22am, but was brought under control at 5:58am.

Though the fire originated in the basement, much of Shapla Supermarket, the grocery store on the ground floor, has been destroyed. Thankfully, however, the FDNY says no injuries were reported.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
