More than 140 firefighters race to blaze just yards from New York’s iconic Flatiron Building
Dramatic footage showed smoke filling the skies over Manhattan after a fire filled a rooftop near the iconic Flatiron Building.
The fire broke out in a 12-story building at West 25th Street and Broadway on Saturday, with footage showing a large plume of smoke from a rooftop.
A large law enforcement response was deployed to the area, with at least four large fire engines at the scene opposite Madison Square Park.
An FDNY spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the department was called to the building at 11:48am local time, and a second alarm in the building sounced at 12:17pm.
The growing fire led to a huge FDNY response, with 46 units and 141 fire and EMS personnel deployed to tackle the blaze.
Two people suffered minor injuries in the blaze and were evaluated by paramedics, an FDNY spokesperson said.
