Six firefighters were hospitalized following an early morning multi-alarm fire in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, according to the FDNY.
The Tuesday morning fire broke out at around 3:39 a.m. at a three-story mixed-use building that houses a restaurant and apartments on Union Avenue and quickly extended to all the floors.
The fire was elevated to a three alarm fire by 4:37 a.m. with 33 FDNY units and 138 firefighters responding to the scene to assist in extinguishing the flames.
Although the fire was placed under control at 5:39 a.m., the process culminated with six firefighters hurt and taken to area hospitals, the FDNY said. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
