It’s a network transformer fire, I knew it!
The FDNY won’t put out a fire like this without Con Ed first isolating and de-energizing the part of the underground grid that’s affected.
We just dealt with a fire in a downtown network manhole two weeks ago. It killed a lineman and burned another one. There were multiple very large buildings without power for 24 plus hours. We still have one building still on generators.
You still have one building on a generator? Oh gee.
