Firefighters were called to the blaze on Findlay Avenue at about 3:30 a.m., according to the New York City Fire Department. Officials said heavy fire conditions were encountered on arrival, with flames spreading from the ground-floor deli into the upper floors of the five-story residential building.
FDNY officials said parked vehicles blocking fire hydrants initially hampered firefighting efforts. Crews eventually brought the blaze under control as it extended into the second floor and throughout the structure.<\/p>\n

One firefighter and one resident were treated for minor injuries, authorities said. No life-threatening injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Several residents were displaced by the fire and were temporarily sheltered on a nearby Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus to keep warm.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

FDNY operations are ongoing at a five alarm fire at Findlay Ave & 170th Street in the Bronx. NYC Emergency Management is on scene supporting interagency coordination.<\/p>\n

Residents, workers, and commuters in the area should expect heavy smoke, street closures, and significant\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/bJnMXiZXY4<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/R1Op89MuGW<\/a><\/p>\n
