FDNY Battles Five-Alarm Blaze at Bronx Apartments

New York City firefighters battled a five-alarm fire at a Bronx apartment building that sent residents scrambling early Wednesday morning.

The fire started on the sixth floor of the building in the Mount Hope section of the borough just after 6:30 a.m. and remained mostly contained to the top floor.

It took roughly 200 firefighters about two hours to contain the blaze, but with more than 70 units in the building, many residents were displaced.
