According to the FDNY, the fire started just before 9 a.m. <\/p>\n<p>Dozens of tenants stood on the sidewalk watching as firefighters worked to put out the fire.<\/p>\n<p>FDNY says two people were injured and taken to hospitals. <\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross says it is assisting seven households, including 18 adults and five children, for emergency assistance. Tenants have been allowed back inside the building. <\/p>\n<p>FDNY Deputy Chief Michele Fitzsimmons said firefighters took four minutes to respond to the scene, but hit a major roadblock. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHydrants were blocked by cars.
