A small electrical fire erupted in a three-story building at 107 Troutman Street around 4:30 PM Wednesday, partially damaging the exterior of the building.
James White, who lives nearby, told BushwickBK that firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. Afterward, they climbed on the roof to tear off the siding to trace the wiring as a precaution.
The Red Cross was on the scene and helped one resident. No injuries were reported and the fire is still under investigation.

As a local resident, I’m so happy that the fire was put out immediately. James White, I would love to meet a celebrity such as yourself, if only in a dream.

Are there a more than usual amount of fires around here? Thought I was looking at a cached page there for a minute.

Yes there are @ Dani. Atleast 3 within the general area in the last year and a half.
