At first they said it was a fire in a subway substation. So who knows?
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.
