The sirens were going off and the water canons spaying at the TransCanada Big Allis Ravenswood Power Plant in Long Island City this morning right across the East River from Roosevelt Island. Roosevelt Island Historical Society President Judy Berdy Berdy shares these pictures and adds:
The water sprayers went off about 10:15 a.m. aimed at the barge in the river.

I asked Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra's office if they knew what was happening at Big Allis. Will provide an update when they find out.

More information about our East River neighbor Big Allis from previous posts.

I used to work at an oil refinery that had it's own power plant and they can be very hazardous. Overheating can cause explosions if the cooling system fails. I'm not alarmed, but I definitely wonder what happened.
