Franklin Avenue Fire Shutters Two Businesses

Radha Grocery and Aissatou Hair Braiding closed and several apartment windows boarded up after early morning blaze.

 

A pre-dawn fire on Franklin Avenue temporarily closed a bodega and a hair salon and affected several apartments.

The blaze broke out just before 2:32 a.m. Wednesday at 788 Franklin, at the corner of Lincoln Place, an FDNY spokesman said. 

Twelve fire trucks and about 60 firefighters fought the flames at the four-story apartment building, which were put under control at 3:03 a.m.

Twelve hours later, Radha Grocery Store and Aissatou Hair Braiding Salon remained shuttered, and several windows in apartments above were boarded up.
