Six firefighters reportedly sustained minor injuries during an incident that resulted in a Mayday Saturday night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
According to FOX 5, the four-alarm fire happened around 5:30 p.m. in a building on N. 5th Street that houses three restaurants.
Fire Department of New York (FDNY) officials said that about 35 minutes into the operation, a smoke explosion occurred, prompting a Mayday call. No members were trapped, although six firefighters were transported with minor injuries. Although, about 115 units were on scene at the fire, with fire from one restaurant extending into two adjoining restaurants. There was a “localized” roof collapse at one point that prompted crews to withdraw, and the fire was marked under control at around 8:30 p.m.
