One firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion after battling a three-alarm blaze at a building in Brooklyn early Thursday, officials said.
No other injuries were reported in the fire, which broke out in the cockloft of a six-story residential building on Third Street in Williamsburg shortly after 4:30 a.m.
Firefighters managed to contain the flames in a little under two hours, battling fierce humidity and rising temperatures even in the pre-dawn hours.
On Wednesday, nine firefighters were taken to the hospital, many with heat-related injuries, after battling a five-alarm fire in the Bronx.
