Photo by myself, in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
A fire occurred next door to our apartment building not long ago. Firemen took a ladder up to the roof and broke through a rear window to get inside. They also took a chain saw to parts of the roof.
Mark and I stood watched the whole thing from our apartment and were amazed that the firemen walked around on the roof without any fear of falling through. (I would have been a quivering mess).
Brooklyn is a densely settled area, and any fire has the chance to spread very easily. The owner was home at the time and escaped unharmed.

A scary scene indeed, with brave first responders to the rescue.
Scary to watch so close by, fires are always so frightening.
Yes when it is cold fires are more common then in summer.
That must have been so spooky for you!
