Robert De Niro is no longer the only person in New York City to set his apartment building on fire this weekend. A fire broke out on the roof of a commercial building on 32nd Street this morning and spread to the fourth floor of a neighboring building on 31st. Apparently, there was a rooftop party going on "into the wee hours of the morning," according to the FDNY, which sent over 100 firefighters. One onlooker remarked that it looked like a barbecue might have exploded. Everyone, please remember to clean the lint filters in your barbecues. [NY1]
