Four people were injured in a fire that broke out in a Sunnyside residential building early this morning.
According to the FDNY, a fire broke out in a 6-story residential building at 42-15 43rd Avenue and firefighters responded to a call at 4:51 a.m.
An FDNY spokesman said it was “an all hands on deck situation,” and 106 firefighters were on the scene, getting the flames under control by 5:18 a.m.
Two firefighters sustained minor injuries, and two civilians were more seriously injured, with one labeled as red-tag, or critical, and one labeled as yellow tag, which means serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
All injured parties were taken to local hospitals for treatment.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by fire marshals, and the FDNY did not know the extent of the damage.
