Fire officials said the building housed three restaurants and the fire spread through the cockloft, the space between the ceiling and roof, from one restaurant into the two adjoining businesses.<\/p>\n

The FDNY posted on Facebook that a smoke explosion occurred during the fire and part of the roof suffered a localized collapse.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 35 minutes into the operation, we had a smoke explosion,\u201d Deputy Chief Michele Fitzsimmons said. \u201cWe transmitted a mayday out of an abundance of caution to make sure that none of our members were injured.\u201d<\/p>\n

The blaze reached four alarms, bringing more than 200 firefighters and EMS personnel to the scene.<\/p>\n

Six firefighters suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment. No other injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n
