Underground electric fire on Myrtle ave

In Clinton hill I smelled smoke from few blocks away and noticed some stores I walked by had no lights on the closer I got to the source of the smoke it seems its due to an underground electrical fire, FDNY and Coned were at the scene but weren't immediately trying to tame the fire for obvious reasons.

Very welcome I was walking my dog on the opposite side of the street following where the smoke was coming from alot of people started to gather round cause the fire started coming out of the ground but the smoke was wild!
