One person was taken into custody after reports of a fire at a building in Brooklyn. The FDNY responded to 1420 Avenue L in Midwood just before 2 p.m. Authorities say they found a propane tank with wires inside the building. The FDNY then requested the NYPD, who responded to the scene and evacuated the building. Police determined those items to be non-hazardous, but one man was taken into custody. Residents who live in the building say they were shocked and confused. "I would say I'm horrified," said tenant William Murillo. "Neighbors are angry, they're angry, just crazy." When resident Michal Halbertal was told to evacuate her apartment, her first thought went to her 6-week-old son, Nathaniel.
