A large fire engulfed a factory early Wednesday morning in Sunset Park.
The FDNY says that a call came in just after midnight at a factory on 53rd Street near the waterfront. Due to the fire's intensity, fire crews fought it from the outside using tower ladders, large water streams and two FDNY fire boats.
The fire quickly rose to five alarms just after 1 a.m. About 250 firefighters and EMS personnel responded. Two firefighters had minor injuries for smoke inhalation. The main building where the fire began suffered a roof collapse.
Citizen video taken from the scene shows heavy smoke and flames in the area.
