26 FDNY units respond to another Fox News HQ fire



Two weeks ago, a mentally ill homeless man reportedly from Brooklyn, ignited the Fox News' Headquarter Christmas tree on fire and burned it to a smoking heap of joyless ashes. 

On Sunday night, the FDNY was called to the Fox News Headquarters in Midtown Manhattan once again to put out a fire.

The first time was on December 8th when the homeless man named Craig Tamanaha, 49, reportedly climbed the 50-foot-tall tree, lit some papers he brought with him, and set the pine ablaze. He was caught and detained for police to arrive and has since taken a shower.

In the present case, the fire was in the basement of the building Fox News is housed in, where "a fire in a compactor" was burning brightly, according to WNYW-TV.

The incident involved up to 26 units responding to the blaze, including 84 firefighters and emergency medical services members.

The extent of the injury to the person reported has not been revealed and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

In the first instance, charges against Tamanaha include criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, arson, criminal nuisance, endangering others, criminal trespass, criminal tampering and disorderly conduct.

In the past, Tamanaha has been arrested for drug possession and public intoxication.

In total, the structure took workers roughly 21 hours to put up, had 10,000 ornaments and 100,000 lights.

Fox has since replaced the tree and Christmas has been saved.
