At 10:35am this morning, the FDNY received a report of a first floor fire at 174 East 82nd Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues — the home Flex Mussels’ Upper East Side location.
The FDNY searched the restaurant space for people trapped inside and luckily found it empty.
Two hoses were extended to battle the flames at the restaurant’s rear, and the incident was deemed under control at 11:14am.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Video of the scene was recorded and shared on Citizen App.
