00:02An explosion at a Bronx apartment building on Wednesday triggered a massive five-alarm fire,
00:08leaving 11 people injured and forcing 18 residents to evacuate.
00:13According to FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignor,
00:17firefighters reached the scene within three minutes
00:20and found heavy flames shooting out from the building's windows.
00:24More than 300 firefighters and emergency personnel
00:28were deployed to battle the blaze,
00:30which spread across three floors of the building.
00:33This was a very difficult fire on a very hot and humid day.
00:38We had multiple people that needed to be rescued out of the building.
00:43Our FDNY firefighters and EMS did an extraordinary job.
00:47There were multiple examples of heroism
00:49where the firefighters were rescuing people from the building
00:54and EMS was providing life-saving drugs and treatment right on the scene,
00:59saving multiple lives.
01:01There was a total of 11 patients.
01:04Seven of them were civilians.
01:06Four of them were firefighters.
01:08The explosion caused significant damage,
01:11sending window frames flying across the street
01:14and blowing apartment doors off their hinges.
01:16The damage allowed flames to spread rapidly through corridors and nearby units.
01:21Firefighters were pulled back after part of the third floor
01:24collapsed into the second floor during the operation.
01:27The cause of the explosion is still being investigated,
01:30while authorities continue efforts to bring the fire under control.
01:34the vehicle fought back after the particles of little one.
