1Opinion of the Court

Judgment affirmed. Defendant’s obstruction of the firemen and police officers in the performance of their duty at a street intersection during a fire posed a serious hazard to the public. It is enough that disorder was threatened by defendant’s conduct (People v. Most, 171 N. Y. 423, 429; People v. Hipple, 263 N. Y. 242, 244).

Concur: Chief Judge Fold and Judges Van Voorhis, Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Keating and Breitel.
