Firefighters battle 5-alarm fire at Bronx apartment complex (Video)
Nearly 200 New York firefighters were battling a massive five-alarm blaze at a Bronx apartment building Friday morning that has left at least seven people injured.
The FDNY responded to the huge blaze at a six-story residential building at 2910 Wallace Ave. in the East Bronx around 1:40 a.m., fire officials said — with alarming video showing the building engulfed with flames billowing from the roof.
Within an hour, “heavy wind conditions” elevated the fire to five alarms — the highest alarm level indicating a severe fire, according to the FDNY.
One of the civilians was treated at the scene and declined to be taken to a hospital.
