As reported by Mary Frost in the Eagle, a fire broke out yesterday evening on the ninth floor of 140 Cadman Plaza West, which also abuts Henry Street to the west and Middagh Street to the north. The FDNY response was “massive” and the fire was extinguished in just over half an hour. Two people who had been inside the building when the fire started received “minor injuries.” The cause of the fire had not, at press time, been determined.
