A two-alarm fire in Prospect Lefferts Gardens left a firefighter with minor injuries and one person arrested for illegal use of a blow torch.

The FDNY says it responded to 245 Hawthorne St. and found two hydrants blocked by cars.

“Our units quickly stretch five hand lines into the six-story structure,” the FDNY posted on social media.

Heavy fire in three apartments on the top floor of the building was placed under control around 2 p.m.

Details surrounding the blowtorch arrest were not immediately available.
