Windsor Terrace / South Slope Crime 5/30/07?

cupoclark · May 2007

Walking the dog last night I noticed dozens of police vehicles, officers, and concerned looking residents all over the South Slope area. Does anyone have any idea what went down around 10pm 5/30 between 6th and 7th avenue, somewhere between 15th and 20th street?

Just curious. It was a very odd atmosphere.

Read this in the Courier.
"Over 100 firefighters were called to the corner of 19th Street and 8th Avenue Wednesday afternoon to put out a two alarm blaze that threatened to destroy a vacant mattress factory. Five firefighters suffered minor injuries as they beat back the heavy flames and smoke in the half hour it took to douse the 3 p.m. blaze. The cause of the fire was still being investigated as this paper went to press."

I'm pretty sure the fire in the mattress factory was last wednsday, so that's not it.

That's what I get for trying to be helpful.

Anytime you're wondering about sirens from fire trucks or 5-0, hovering police helicopters, etc. - check Gothamist's Newsmap:

Pretty darn near live map of police or fire actions.
