On Tues., July 1, around 5 p.m., a fire broke out on a rooftop at 151 W. 10th St., at the corner of Waverly Place. Several fire trucks quickly arrived and the flames were speedily extinguished. Tom Bernardin, who was inside Julius’ bar across the street, ran out and snapped this shot. “I heard it might have been caused by a cigarette butt,” he said, “that there were dead, dried-out plants on the roof. The fire was put out with a minimum of water, so the apartments were not damaged. The fireman went up and sprayed something on it.”
