A fierce 5-alarm fire erupted in a six-story building on Wallace Avenue in the Bronx, New York, leaving seven people injured, including five firefighters. The blaze, which began early this morning, quickly spread through the structure, intensifying as heavy winds fueled the flames. Nearly 200 firefighters from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) responded to the scene, working tirelessly to contain the fire. The situation was further complicated by the strong winds, which allowed the flames to spread rapidly across multiple floors. Seven individuals were reported injured in the incident, with five of the victims being firefighters who sustained non-life-threatening injuries while battling the blaze.
