Fire at Lincoln Postal (at Lincoln and Classon)

There was a fire at Lincoln Postal this evening. Smoke was seen coming out above the storefront, and the fire dept was called. A few dozen fire fighters arrived in six trucks. They opened up the walls and sprayed the smoldering area. The damage appears to be cosmetic, but Lincoln Postal will probably be closed for awhile. The apartment above is vacant.

    Thanks.    I take it the bodega on the left, and the burger place on the right appear to be unaffected?

    The bodega is unaffected, and stayed open during the action. The burger place filled with smoke and had some minor interior damage caused by fire fighters who were trying to determine the location of the fire. I imagine that the burger joint will reopen rather quickly.

    Just stopped in. Lincoln Postal is fine! Phew. They had to close for 2 days, and there's a small amount of damage to the ceiling towards the front of the store. But they are operating fine now. I told the fellow working (not the owner) that we had all been so worried! :)
