Firefi ghters battled a blaze inside
a Rego Park barber shop over the
weekend.
On Sunday, Nov. 29, around 1:30 a.m.,
the FDNY received calls about a fi re
at Sergey’s Classical Haircut, located
at 63-53 Austin St., according to the
authorities.
Around 60 FDNY personnel arrived
to the scene to put out the fi re inside the
100-square-foot, one-story building.
The fi re was under control around
2:20 a.m., the FDNY said.
The barber shop, which has been in
operation for nearly two decades, was
damaged heavily by the fi re and likely
won’t reopen, according to the owner’s
son, Mike Pinkhasov.
Due to fi nancial constraints caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic, the owner,
Sergey Pinkhasov, was unable to take
out insurance that would cover damages
caused by a fi re this year, according
to his son.
No one was injured in the blaze.
