An apartment fire in Brownsville Sunday afternoon left one person with minor injuries, the FDNY says.

Deputy Chief Michael Grogan says the call came in around 3:15 p.m. Someone also ran down the street to their station house to tell them 428 Sheffield Ave. was on fire.

The FDNY says all residents made it outside the building safely. The blaze was put under control within an hour.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the fire.

The Red Cross is helping people who are now displaced.
