Can see this from my window. Just a lot of white smoke. Getting water on fire now they say at 5:40pm. btw: The RH is just 25% and it is breezy. No real rain for days.
Manifold being set up at 5:46pm.
Smoke reaching the short distance to CI in a narrow band over Cropsey Ave---West 17th---out over water.
Smoke greatly reduced by 7pm.

166 Truck normally first due when available, might have been on another run at time of initial alarm. This BK box # (3444) has been quite busy in recent months, this brush fire and other 10-77s in hi-rises along the Belt PKWY on Cropsey Ave, atleast 2 over this summer.
