Responding units discovered a massive fire on the second floor of the warehouse.

There were no occupants in the building at the time. No injuries were reported.

FDNY officials say a lumber yard inside the warehouse fueled the fire.

“Even though we lost the building, it was an incredibly successful operation at the end of the day. We limited the spread to one building and didn’t allow it to go anywhere else,” fire officials said.
