I passed the plant at 0830 going to my office and at 0905 left to go to NM. Walking out of my office I saw a big black plume against the overcast drizzle and I went within two blocks of the fire. Two or three buildings with 20 foot flames and lots of roiling black smoke. Six fire trucks and equal number of police were starting block the area off. I have a couple of pictures, which may not be any good(bad camera angle and distance), if good I will link to them.

Hide under the bed and don't come out until the "all clear" is sounded.

My husband says that these barges burn often in that area, maybe two or three a year. (He was once stationed on Govenor's Island in the Coast Guard)
