A reader report from the scene: "More than five ladder trucks started around 9 a.m., two hoses deployed ... lots of black smoke ... medical team standing by with gurneys at about 9:55."
The Citizen app reports that the fire started in the basement of the three-story building with six residential units.
Will update when more information becomes available.
Updated 11:45: According to a report via the Citizen app, two firefighters were treated for minor injuries. The fire is now under control.
A witness says the FDNY had it wrapped up just after noon...
There wasn't any word of injuries to residents. And no word on a possible cause.
Con Ed arrived on the scene early in the afternoon ... (thanks again to Hubs for the pics)...
