Coney Island Hospital is not on fire; car fire nearby caused confusion

Earlier tonight, Twitter lit up with rumors that the Coney Island Hospital was on fire. Turned out to be a nearby car fire that caused confusion.

#FDNY units are on scene at Coney Island Hospital. No confirmed fire or reports of injuries at this time.

That’s the good news. The bad news: Like other area hospitals (see previous Twitchy coverage here), Coney Island is reportedly preparing to evacuate:

There was no fire, but reports say officials are now making preparations to evacuate Coney Island Hospital http://t.co/WH0OFSQa
