FIRES THAT HAPPENED IN BUSHWICK- -Fires are not just a thing of the past in Bushwick. One happened on [|Palmetto] Street and [|Ridgewood] Place. -The **All Hands Fire** was something that you remember. Prior to 9/11, it was the biggest fire ever fought by the modern FDNY. It took 55 units of firefighters from Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn to put out the fire started by three kids playing in an old abandoned knitting factory. When the fire was over, 23 buildings were destroyed across 7 blocks, leaving a flattened wasteland at this central intersection.( GOT INFORMATION FROM [])
