these kind of building in lower manhattan tend to be crowded. they are walk-up building. six or seven floors with several apartments to a floor. this fire occurring here late in the afternoon. we just don t know how many people were inside. from wnbc our local affiliate, we have one building collapsed and an operating fire and the two others that you mentioned, adam. from your vantage point, is it a scene that feels under control or chaotic as anna was telling us from her place about a block away. away. i think it s coming under control, ari. there are multiple units on site. it seems to be under control. i ll have a better view of it in a minute as i come around the corner. if now it seems under control. and you said you did speak with officials for the new york fire department but that was informal. no press briefing or larger announcement at this point. correct. i think they re getting ready to have a briefing soon.
