The department says 21 people were injured Monday as the fire raged in the Mill Basin neighborhood. All but three of them were firefighters. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening.
The fire broke out on two floors of the four-story garage at around 9 a.m. The Kings Plaza mall was closed as a result.
It took nearly three hours to get the fire under control. The cause is under investigation.
Looks like arson.
This fire confirms my opinion of Kings Plaza as a mall bereft of security. Decades ago they prevented me from filing a NY Police complaint after vandalism to my car. They also promised that management would contact me to discuss my damages and repair costs. The nest day they made clear to me that they would do nothing and laughed whne I suggested letting me see their tapes.
It is also interesting that their prime spots are being reserved and utilized by a car dealer for storage. These spots were mandated to be built to not overwhelm the neighborhood and use all the on street parking spaces. Now we hear those spaces were reserved and not available to customers.They should lose their CO but nothing will happen.
One has to be meshuganah to go to Kings Plaza, as some of clientele of that mall, are individuals whom I would not feel comfortable with. Take your business elsewhere, and stay the heck away from there.
To #4 - Enjoy yourself with the lowlifes, who frequent Kings Plaza.
