Michael, a neighbor, said he realized something was wrong after hearing sirens.
“I walked outside, saw a trickle of smoke coming out of the building and the next thing was flames and smoke enveloping the top two floors. It looked serious and I could feel the heat.”
Despite the intense response, FDNY confirmed there were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
