Flames erupted inside Juliette Restaurant, located at 135 North 5th St., just before 5:30 p.m. The blaze quickly escalated to a fourth alarm, sending 231 fire and EMS personnel to the scene.<\/p>\n
Fire officials reported a minor collapse inside the building. Five firefighters suffered minor injuries battling the blaze, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n

Paramedics took four of the wounded firefighters to Woodhull Hospital. The fifth hurt firefighter turned down medical attention.<\/p>\n
Neighbors covered their mouths as the walked through smoke filled streets. Vinod Singaram was still inside his next door apartment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in my apartment putting my bed together,” he said, still moving into his new place he got the keys to earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Singarm says if not for his two dogs refusing to stop barking, he would have never looked out the window.<\/p>\n
“I thought they were just barking because of some noise…I was very, very happy,\u201d Singaram said.<\/p>\n
