A firefighter was seriously injured and two residents were hurt after a fire ripped through a mixed-use building in Clinton Hill early Monday morning.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out just after 3 a.m. at 504 Classon Ave., near Putnam Avenue, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n
Fire officials say the flames started on the first floor of the three-story building and spread to the second floor. A deli located on the ground floor appears to have suffered heavy damage.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed thick smoke rising above the neighborhood as firefighters worked to bring the blaze under control.<\/p>\n
The FDNY upgraded the response to a second alarm around 3:34 a.m., bringing 46 units and 141 fire and EMS personnel to the scene.<\/p>\n
Officials say one firefighter suffered serious injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n
Two residents were also injured. One person was treated at the scene and declined further medical attention, while another was taken to Brooklyn Hospital.<\/p>\n
By 5 a.m., firefighters remained at the scene as crews continued to check for hot spots and secure the building.<\/p>\n
The American Red Cross was also on site assisting people affected by the fire.<\/p>\n
It is not yet clear how many residents may be displaced.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A firefighter was seriously injured and two residents were hurt after a fire ripped through a mixed-use building…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-273762","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\/273762","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=273762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
