Warbasse Houses Power Plant, West 6th St, near Belt Parkway. about 9:05am.

Fire in water tank. Heavy black smoke.

This plant supplies power for 5, 24-Story buildings, including the one an hour ago. It was wiped out by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and rebuilt
internally.
Darkening down by 9:37am. Plastic materials mostly are burning.
Two cooling tanks on roof burned totally, two damaged. Confined to roof apparently. Unknown if power production was affected. Just puffs of white smoke by 9:48am.
Possible cause was workers using oxyacetelyene torches.
