Parts of an Astoria block were evacuated Tuesday and a man taken into custody after police found "precursor materials" for an explosive at the scene of a house fire. Officials said the resident of the home's bottom floor — where the fire originated — was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
