I saw a fairly large fire on my way to see the fireworks tonight. It was in an industrial building at the corner of North 9th Street and Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg.
I saw the first smoke around 9:15 while walking on Berry Street along McCarren Park. I quickly walked down to North 10th Street, and that's when I first saw the flames.
I've uploaded several more photos after the jump.

I saw this fire from a rooftop on N. 6th it looked pretty intense. My cabbie on the ride home said he saw a body bag come out but I'm not sure how reliable he is.
Wow, I certainly hope that's not true. Seeing that it's July 4th and it's a factory/storage facility, I hope no one was in there. I didn't see any ambulances while I was there.
video of fire here http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-291599
i have pretty decent photos of this, i was right across the street when it started, if anyone would like to see, feel free to email....
no bodybag, no one injured thank god.. only a rental bmw was torched.. most of the damage was to the lumber storage part of the building which was on fire. The NYFD did an amazing job containing the fire. It did not spread and their extreme and sharp efforts prevented that from happening..they should constantly be saluted as heroes, this fire was intense and had the potential to spread and be deadlier. The word arson has been thrown around but nothing is official. this is a landmark building and this is a shame, but these things do happen. Thankfully once again no one was hurt.....
I'm a fireman with L-146, I am with one of the companies that responded to the 4th of July fire at North 9th and Wythe. I was looking around online and saw this posting that you had pictures of this fire. I was wondering If you could email them to me or drop them by the firehouse on Richardson St. Thank you for your time.

Safety the name of the game as Ohio State joins the NFL for mothers football clinic,导入空标题
In the first stop on his tour of the state of Ohio, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell joined with Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer Thursday for the 2013 Moms Football Safety Clinic at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Goodell said the goal of the clinic, which was attended by approximately 350 mothers,导入空标题, was to teach them about the steps that the NFL is taking to make the game of football safer.
“The impetus is USA Football, and trying to make sure we provide the information to moms who make most of the decisions in our households about all the things that they're hearing about,” Goodell said. “To give them a better education,2013 NFL Football Tickets- SuperbTicketsOnline.com, a better sense of what we’re doing in football to make the game safer and where they can go to get the right kind of information.”
Goodell called safety “the number one priority” in any sport and said he was optimistic about the direction of football.
Stations were provided at the clinic that were meant to give participants both a hands-on experience as well as give them the opportunity to ask questions. An equipment fitting seminar showed how helmets and shoulder pads should ultimately fit on a player’s body, and a series of tackling drills allowed the mothers to get a chance to learn from OSU defensive coaches Luke Fickell, Kerry Coombs and Mike Vrabel.
Meyer said that Commissioner Goodell did not even need to finish asking what his opinion was on whether or not the NFL could start their safety program at Ohio State before he told him yes.
“He (Goodell) is protecting our game, and I think he’s doing a great job of it,” Meyer said. “Ohio State’s proud to be a part of it.”
Meyer said he thinks the game is going to see a big change, especially since the NCAA’s passing of its new targeting rule that gives referees the ability to eject any player that leads with their head to make a tackle or block. He called it a “game changer” and made reference to last season, saying how different things would have been had the rule been implemented then.
“There’s a handful of plays that our players would have been thrown out of the game last year,ST. JOSEPH, Mo- Chiefs' Dontari Poe quits barb,” Meyer said. “I’m not arguing it if it’s for players' safety, but we just have to coach it.”
When training camp opens Aug. 4, Meyer said one of the first things he and his staff will do is to re-teach tackling techniques. Every player will also have a video provided by the coaches on their iPad that shows the proper fundamentals of tackling.
Upon completion of the drills, the mothers got a chance to ask both Meyer and Goodell questions as well as take photos and get autographs.
Goodell said the goal is not to take away the aggressiveness the sport provides, but to just do what they can to make is as safe as can be.
“The game of football is a tough game, and we love that aspect of it,” Goodell said. “But it can be played safer,导入空标题, and that’s what the emphasis was today.”
Former NFL Player Charged With Leaving Child Alone In Car At Strip Club « CBS Chicago
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A former University of Florida and NFL player was arrested after authorities say he left a 3-year-old girl alone in a car while he went into a Clearwater strip club.
The Pinellas County Sheriff s Office reports that 41-year-old Monty Ray Grow was charged with child abuse Sunday night. He was later released on $5,000 bail.
Deputies say Grow went into Diamond Dolls and left the child in the parking lot of the nearby used car dealership. Authorities wouldn t say how Grow knew the girl,Dolphins among NFL players up in arms over leg pad.

Dolphins among NFL players up in arms over leg padding,Kansas City Chiefs OC Doug Pederson says Alex Smit
I don t like them, Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline said last week. Really, they don t do a whole lot. I appreciate them taking the initiative, trying to protect the players, but I don t think the biggest [injuries] are prevented from knee and thigh pads. Hartline was one of the hundreds of NFL players who chose to go without knee and thigh pads before this season. By the league s estimate, just three in 10 pros used the pads when they were voluntary. Skill-position players,Denny Hamlin grabs the pole at Bristol, who rely on speed and agility, tend to loathe them.But Merton Hanks, the NFL s vice president of football operations, said complaints will fade in time. Hanks, a former Pro Bowl defensive back, always wore the extra padding as a player when the league mandated it, and when it did not.From 1979 through 1994, every player had to wear the four upper-leg pads (two on each leg), but the NFL eventually dropped the mandate because they were bulky and the rule was hard to enforce, the league said.But with advances in technology, protective pads have become lighter and less restrictive, to the point where they no longer impact performance, the NFL argued. Furthermore, the league believes the benefits in mandating them will outweigh challenges in enforcement. Intuitively, whenever you have a protective barrier between you and any contact, we would state that it would probably bring about a safer condition, Hanks said. We wanted to minimize thigh and knee bruises, contusions. Our primary concern is the safety of our player. Not surprisingly,Meteorologist Tim Williams Has Your Sunday Morning, some players have a different take. I think when you look statistically at the amount of injuries that occur in this league due to the lack of knee or thigh pads, it is minimal and [the rule] is silly, said Dolphins tackle Tyson Clabo, who nonetheless wore them the first eight years of his career, even when it wasn t mandatory.Bryson Lesniak, an orthopedist at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said the extra padding will help minimize the effect of deep thigh and knee bruises, which can sideline players for weeks.But the idea they will prevent a broken leg or a torn ACL catastrophic injuries that can cost players months if not an entire season could be a flight of fancy.Lesniak, who does not treat NFL players but speaks regularly with several league physicians, believes the rule change has a secondary intent: To help reduce the instances and severity of concussions.The long-term effects of head trauma are a huge concern for the league, which is being sued by hundreds of former players who said the league hid information linking football-related head trauma to permanent brain injuries, including dementia.The multibillion-dollar lawsuit,Aaron Hernandez Cousin Tanya Singleton Protecting TE- Indict, which has helped bring about player-protecting rule changes,27 Games Later 33 1-5, was ordered into mediation by a federal judge this month.
