Fire knocks out electricity at Oliver Street co-op
Shareholders of a Bay Ridge co-op lost power in the wake of a fire in an electrical panel on the building’s first floor on Aug. 23, authorities said.
The one-alarm fire took place at 61 Oliver St., a large co-op complex located between Marine Avenue and Shore Road. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes is a shareholder in the co-op.
The blaze, which started in an electrical wiring room located on the first floor of the building, was contained within that room and did not spread to other areas of the building, authorities said.
