Forget the stock market, this is the hottest place to stash your cash.
Firefighters cut through a ceiling while battling a house blaze in Brooklyn early Thursday and bundles of hidden cash rained down on them, sources said.
“It was buried treasure basically,” said an FDNY source who had been briefed on the unexpected bounty.
“It just kept falling out.”
The firefighters had arrived at the three-story brick row house on East 57th Street in Old Mill Basin just after 2 a.m. to put out the fire, which had started on the first floor, the FDNY said.
When they discovered that the flames had snaked their way into the ceiling, they cut through the overhead drywall to stamp it out, the FDNY source said.
Then the cash, all wrapped in plastic bags and tinfoil, started landing on their heads.
“It was a ton of cash. It just fell right out of the ceiling, pretty cool,” the source said.
