A child and at least 10 others were hurt in an overnight fire that displaced residents in Bushwick.
Among the injured was a child who sustained burns on their legs. Two firefighters were also hurt during the incident.
Fire crews made multiple rescues at the location, pulling residents out of windows and guiding them down smoke-filled hallways.Dozens of other families were forced to evacuate the building and are currently homeless."We had six dogs, a baby, my godson and his baby moms, which I had to run upstairs and try to save. I made sure everyone got out the best way they could," she said.
"The second floor neighbor, thankfully, knocked our window. They were like 'oh there's a fire.' I pretty much told everyone inside my apartment to lets go because we live right across from the guy who set it on fire," the witness said.Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
