An early morning fire at Whitestone Commons left at least two businesses significantly damaged, reports said.

The blaze started about 6 a.m. at the shopping complex, located on 14th Avenue near Clintonville Street.

Firefighters were able to put out the flames about an hour later, the FDNY said.


At least two businesses were affected by the fire, Bagel Time and a clothing store called Prive, according to Devon O’Connor of the Welcome To Whitestone Civic Association, and photos from the scene. He said they appeared to be badly damaged.

No one was reported injured.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation and the FDNY would not confirm where it started.
