A fire in a high-rise NYCHA building sent Claremont residents running into the cold early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Soot now covers the walls and puddles of water line the floor of the 10th floor hallway at 1408 Webster Ave.<\/p>\n
Neighbors tell News 12 the fire started in the kitchen, possibly from a dryer, before spreading into the living room of an apartment.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out just after 3 a.m. and took about an hour for firefighters to get under control. About 80 first responders were on scene battling the flames.<\/p>\n
Officials say the fire was contained to a single apartment. The two men who live there were taken to the hospital with minor injuries and are expected to be OK.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross is now assisting residents affected by the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fire in a high-rise NYCHA building sent Claremont residents running into the cold early Sunday morning.
