Staten Island Junkyard Fire | New York City News

Staten Island erupted in flames Friday night at an autobody junkyard on Rector Street — a blaze so intense it summoned over 190 firefighters and EMS, with tower ladders deployed and smoke forcing traffic shutdowns. Thankfully, no one was on-site when the fire broke out, avoiding injuries. Crews finally extinguished the inferno just after midnight as fire marshals now investigate the cause — all while grappling with another major incident just days prior: a deadly barge explosion.
