One of our favorite neighborhood bars, Alaska on Ingraham and Morgan was on fire last night. According to Bedford and Bowery, FDNY, was called in at 9:49PM and it took nearly an hour to bring the fire under control.

One of the owners of Alaska, Skyler David Insler send us a Facebook message earlier today explaining:

“…there was some kind of fluke electrical fire that started tonight. above all we’re just really grateful that no one was hurt. the fire department came super fast, within a couple minutes of calling 911. they were able to stop the fire from spreading, so much of the building is still in tact. there is extensive damage to the roof and walls, but we feel very lucky.”
