NEW YORK (AP) - An apartment fire has sent flames surging through windows overlooking a busy Manhattan street.
More than 100 firefighters were called to quell the three-alarm blaze around 3:30 p.m. Monday on West 23rd Street and Seventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood.
No one was home when the fire engulfed a top-floor apartment. Onlooker and news video showed flames coursing out two sixth-floor windows.
FDNY Division Chief Joseph Schiralli told reporters it was a particularly “labor-intensive job” because the apartment was cluttered.
Four firefighters suffered minor injuries. Two were taken to hospitals to be checked out.
It’s not yet known what caused the blaze.
