Six firefighters were injured yesterday in an early-morning blaze that swept through a vacant Bronx storefront, officials said.

The Bravest spent nearly three hours battling the four-alarm blaze in the one-story building along Featherbed Lane in the Morris Heights section.

Among those hurt was a firefighter who had to be hospitalized for heart trouble, a Fire Department spokesman said.

Neighbors said the building and those adjacent to it had been vacant for several months because of roof problems.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
