FDNY responded to a fire at 147 Henry Street, apt. 5D in Brooklyn Heights. According to neighbors the person occupying the apartment was a “hoarder.” Two firefighters were injured—one was given a neck brace, then carried away on a stretcher to an ambulance waiting on Clark Street.
This is not the first alleged “Collyer Mansion” fire in recent memory. Last year’s fire at 42 Remsen was reportedly sparked by hoarder conditions.
