A two-alarm fire broke out at about noon yesterday in the basement of 430 East 8th Street. The electrical fire, which required Con Edison to shut off power for a period of time, was under control in just over an hour, but some residents have had to find another place to stay. A partial vacate order was put in place because of extensive smoke and water damage, but thankfully there are no reports of any injuries.
