Firefighter Dies From Blaze At New York Movie Set

A firefighter was killed battling a five-alarm blaze late Thursday night in Harlem. FDNY officials identified the firefighter as 37-year-old Michael R. Davidson, a 15-year department veteran. The fire broke out around 11 p.m. Thursday in the basement of the closed club St. Nick’s Jazz Pub on Saint Nicholas Avenue near 148th Street. The unoccupied building, built in 1920, was being used as a set for filming and quickly went up in flames. “It started in the basement and it shot through the roof,” said neighbor Scott Raynor. “It looked like a volcano.”
