The fire, which began around 3pm on 7th street and 2nd avenue, left 19 people injured, 4 critically. Two are missing, and dozens are without homes. Businesses were lost; the fire took out several restaurants including a sushi joint and a local haunt called Pomme Frites.
We reported yesterday that the FDNY dispatched more than "200 emergency responders arrived on the scene to battle the 7-alarm blaze."
"People were running and screaming," Shameen Noor, who works at a restaurant down the street, told Reuters. "There's a big fire on the roof and black smoke."
