RKNY just sent in a few pictures of the fire on E17th Street: "333 E17th bet. 1st and 2nd. Seems to have started in a 2nd fl. bedroom. Heavy smoke and water damage on the 1st and 2nd floor." That's a pretty nice block, just east of Stuyvesant Park. No word on any victims-- we'll update if that becomes available.
