Fire on the Soho front

This weekend in Soho, shopping became more dangerous than fighting with tourists over vendor stand earrings.
It took 200 firefighters over four hours to put out the fire at 575 Broadway on Saturday. While the Prada store is completely destroyed, fashion fans aren't the only ones suffering.
The building is owned by publisher Peter Brant, and the fifth floor was home to magazines such as Interview and Art in America.
Minor injuries occurred due to the five alarm blaze, but nobody was severely injured. Except for those broken-hearted shoppers who put their Prada bags on hold eight months ago.
