Six firefighters sustained minor injuries while battling a major four-alarm fire that broke out at a restaurant building in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.

According to the FDNY, the fire was reported just before 5:30 p.m. at a building on North 5th Street between Bedford Avenue and Berry Street, which houses three restaurants. Everyone inside the establishments was able to safely evacuate.

The flames originated in one restaurant and quickly spread through the space between the ceiling and the roof into two adjoining restaurants. During the firefighting operations, crews faced a smoke explosion inside the building and a localized roof collapse. More than 200 fire and emergency personnel responded to the scene, eventually bringing the blaze under control shortly after 8:30 p.m.

The six injured firefighters were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries consistent with firefighting operations, and no other injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
