A fast-moving fire destroyed at least one business before spreading to two others in Queens overnight Sunday.
It appeared that the building also housed several residential apartments above the businesses. It's not clear how many people lived there.
"I just stopped by to come by my business over here, so I just checked it out I don't know what's going on," one man said."I live around here -- why are there so many firefighters? Hopefully everyone is ok, hopefully no one is hurt."Over 100 firefighters worked to put out the fire, which was placed under control around 1:40 a.m.
