Ten people, including five firefighters, were injured in a fire<\/a> that ripped through a Queens tire shop and apartment building early Saturday, officials said.<\/p>\n

The fire erupted about 4:30 a.m. in the ground-floor tire shop and quickly spread to the two stories of apartments above on Flushing Ave. near Woodward Ave.<\/a> in Ridgewood, according to the FDNY<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a deep-seated stubborn fire involving thousands of tires, which makes extinguishment particularly challenging,\u201d Assistant FDNY Chief David Simms said.<\/p>\n

Video posted<\/a> on the FDNY\u2019s X account showed massive walls of smoke billowing out of the building windows.<\/p>\n
