More than a dozen people were injured after a fire broke out at an apartment building in the Bronx on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The fire started just before 3 p.m. on the third floor of a five-story building located at 3410 Kingsbridge Ave. in the Kingsbridge section. The fire went to a second alarm just minutes later.<\/p>\n

Citizen App video shows flames shooting from the building, and someone waving a flag from a window near the flames.<\/p>\n

Firefighters rescued at least one person from a window with a ladder.<\/p>\n

The building also houses a fourth-floor day care, which was full of children at the time.<\/p>\n

Dozens of units and over 140 fire and EMS personnel responded to the scene, and the building was quickly, and safely evacuated.<\/p>\n

Officials say 15 people suffered minor injuries, mainly children from the day care, and were taken to nearby hospitals.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness News spoke to a father whose daughter was among the children taken to the hospital out of precaution.<\/p>\n

“She says she’s good. A little shaken up,” the father said “This is the first time she’s been in a situation like this. Like I said that smoke is serious, but yeah… a couple days off for her. A couple days off.”<\/p>\n

The fire was placed under control around 4:10 p.m.<\/p>\n

There’s no word yet on the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
