Fire at FDR skatepark, ramp apparently burned

A rubbish fire erupted at the iconic FDR Skatepark Monday, and appeared to damage a skate ramp.

A photo posted on Instagram shows what appears to be a hollowed-out trashcan atop a singed and still-smoking skate ramp.

Dixon did not provide a cause, but said fire and police officers noticed the smoke while responding to a separate hazmat incident further south on Interstate 95, near Bartram Avenue.

Dixon did not know how many people were around the skatepark at the time. He said no injuries were reported.
