FDNY firefighters spent hours battling a five-alarm fire in a Brooklyn warehouse that broke out late Wednesday.

The fire was reported around 11:30 p.m. at 481 Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood.

FDNY officials said firefighters arrived within three minutes and the fire quickly spread throughout the four-story building.

"Upon arrival, we had heavy fire on the second, third, fourth floor, and through the roof," Chief of Operations Kevin Woods said. "Due to the amount of fire and the structural stability of the building, we removed our members and attacked the fire from the exterior, from the front and the rear with large caliber streams."

A fire boat was called in to help control the fire. 

"The rear of this building is on the water, so we called in Marine 9, and we used some of their large caliber streams to extinguish the fire."

Two firefighters sustained minor injuries.

At the height of the fire, over 250 FDNY firefighters and EMS personnel were on scene.
