An overnight fire at 39 Eldridge Street injures ten firefighters and closes the preschool downstairs
In February 2012 a fire broke out around 3:30 a.m. at 39 Eldridge Street, a residential building of five stories that also housed a karaoke business. No residents were harmed, but ten firefighters suffered minor injuries. The Preschool of America on the first floor, with about 150 children, shut for the day because of lingering smoke and electricity damage, though its space did not appear damaged, and many parents found out only as they arrived.
