4 People, Including Pregnant Woman, Hurt in Apartment Fire: FDNY

A fire broke out at an apartment early Sunday, injuring four people including a pregnant woman, officials said. 

The fire erupted in an attic of the 40-unit building on Clay Avenue in the Bronx just after 5 a.m., officials said. 

Two firefighters and two civilians suffered minor injuries, according to officials. The pregnant woman suffered smoke inhalation. 

About 400 firefighters worked for two hours to put out the blaze. Their work was complicated because the building had a double-ceiling. Video shows flames erupting from the building. 

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
