A massive raging fire tore through the top floors of a Bronx apartment building Thursday evening, according to fire officials.
Video from the scene on Carpenter Avenue near East 228th Street showed flames shooting up through the roof and windows of the building in the Wakefield neighborhood. FDNY said they received a call about the fire just after 5 p.m., which quickly grew to four alarms.
The fire started on the fifth floor and spread into the cockloft of building, the space between the ceiling and the roof.

More than 200 firefighters and EMS were at the scene, battling flames and helping those impacted as thick, choking smoke filled the night sky.
Four people were hurt, including four firefighters, the FDNY said, with one of the injured being removed on a stretcher. The injuries to the non-firefighter were not considered to be life-threatening.
It was not immediately clear what may have sparked the blaze, which was put out around 7 p.m.
