One person was injured during a second-alarm fire at a home in Sunset Park, according to fire officials.

The FDNY says 141 fire and EMS personnel responded to 239 61st St. just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

The blaze started in the basement and spread up to the space between the ceiling and the roof, fire officials say.

Citizen app footage shows firefighters battling the fire as orange flames and smoke shoot from what appears to be a hole in the roof.

The FDNY says crews controlled the fire at around 4:15 p.m.

According to fire officials, the one victim suffered minor injuries and was treated on scene by EMS.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
