Fest Fire Alarm

NY Post

by C.J. SULLIVAN

SoHo fire companies would not have the necessary manpower if a blaze were to break out on a block obstructed by a street festival, FDNY sources warned yesterday.

Mulberry Street, between Broome and Spring, is blocked by food carts for the Feast of St. Anthony, creating the need for an extra man to operate longer hoses, the sources said.

An extra man is provided during the larger Feast of San Gennaro, the sources said.

The FDNY declined to comment.
