A fire in Greenpoint injured at least 10 firefighters yesterday evening.
The three-alarm fire broke out at 485 Scott Avenue, at a local waste management site next to the Kosciuszko Bridge.
“FDNY officials say 63 units and 192 fire and EMS personnel responded to the scene, where they encountered heavy fire and smoke inside,” ABC 7 reports.
The city’s current heat wave further complicated things, an FDNY chief told the outlet. Multiple firefighters were hospitalized with heat-related injuries, none of which were life-threatening.
Firefighters brought the fire under control by 6:40 pm. They are still investigating the cause.
