NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Four people were injured, including three firefighters, in a fire and partial collapse at a Brooklyn home early Wednesday.
The three-alarm fire broke out just after 4 a.m. at a two-story home on E. 9th Street, near Forest Avenue, in Midwood, according to the FDNY.
Nearly 140 firefighters and EMTs responded to the scene. Citizen App video shows flames shooting out of a second-floor window and heavy smoke in the area.
Firefighters encountered “heavy clutter conditions” and a partial collapse in the rear of the building, with the second floor collapsing onto the first floor, the FDNY said.
Three firefighters and one civilian were transported to Maimonides Medical Center. Their conditions weren’t immediately known; WABC reported that the victims included a 67-year-old man who was critically injured.
Officials haven’t yet said what may have caused the fire.
