p. 762
Stephen C. Vladeck, Judith P. Vladeck and Bernard Taker for appellant.
Frank S. Hogan, District Attorney (Robert D. MacLachlan, Jr., and Michael Juviler of counsel), for respondent.

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.
