A fast-moving fire tore through a building in East Williamsburg late Sunday night, injuring three firefighters and causing part of the structure to collapse, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n
It happened just before 10 p.m. on Grand Street, between Catherine Street and Morgan Avenue.<\/p>\n
Officials say the fire started on the first floor of a three-story building. There\u2019s a business on the ground level and apartments on the floors above. The flames spread quickly and extended into the building next door.<\/p>\n
At one point, crews had to back out and fight the fire from outside because the building was no longer stable.<\/p>\n
Part of a wall from the main building collapsed into the street. Another section fell in the back, raising concerns about nearby buildings.<\/p>\n
Despite the dangerous conditions, everyone inside made it out safely.<\/p>\n
Three firefighters were taken to the hospital \u2014 one with moderate injuries and two with minor injuries. They are all expected to be OK.<\/p>\n
More than 200 emergency responders were on the scene as crews worked for hours to get the fire under control. It was finally brought under control early Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Fire marshals are now investigating what caused the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fast-moving fire tore through a building in East Williamsburg late Sunday night, injuring three firefighters and causing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-218999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
