A fireball from a parked RV sparked a fire that tore through an iconic Queens diner from the movie “Goodfellas” – and now one mayoral candidate is calling for a camper crackdown.
The fire erupted at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at GoodFellas Diner in Maspeth with 60 firefighters eventually arriving to put out the flames, according to the FDNY.
The blaze came seven years after the same diner caught fire.
Two civilians were evaluated on the scene and refused medical attention, the department said.

Mob hangouts have a way of accidentally going up in flames when they become inconvenient.
What’s up with all of the RVs all over the place, in the boroughs???
Cheap housing? Avoiding rents and NY taxes?
“Nobody goes there anymore, too crowded.”
Since when are RVs equipped with Fireballs? News to me.
Yes, Yes, but they have to pay vehicle property and license taxes.
My Lord, a ‘camper crackdown’. Send in the PoPo immediately.
I would assume that RV’s are much cheaper than an apartment in NY city.
“Since when are RVs equipped with Fireballs?”
Since Jimmy Gilmer’s Copyright expired.
We need reasonable camper control.
“Oh you had a fire? F___ you....Pay Me!”
“What’s up with all of the RVs all over the place, in the boroughs???”
I think the problem was that the city outlawed tents, so the NGO-funded Globalists had to come up with something else...hence they’ve been buying them old, beat-up, campers to live in.
“Since when are RVs equipped with Fireballs?”
They’re not. It’s a special extra option you have to ask for at the dealership.
"Two n#&!%$s just burned my RV. Can you f%$*# believe that s#&!?
Look in the liquor cabinet. There maybe some fireball there.
So disgustingly gross.
Friction fire. Friction between the mortgage payment and the insurance policy.
House and apartments are out of range for some people. They could be the working poor.
So the military was there too helping people at the scene of the fire?
Is that you Yogi?
