Fire-ravaged Pratt will pull through
Though no one was killed, two firemen and a civilian were injured during a four-alarm fire at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute that caused severe damage and destroyed an art studio early Friday morning.
It took 168 firemen about two hours to extinguish the flames, which started on the top floor of the six-story Main Building located at 200 Willoughby Ave., according to FDNY officials. The 125-year-old building housed studios, classrooms, and administrative offices. A roof collapsed during the fire and there was quite a bit of water damage as well.
The Main Building belonged to the Fine Arts Department with seniors and their projects assigned to the top floor, which suffered the bulk of the damage.
