A firefighter and eight civilians suffered minor injuries in a three-alarm blaze in the Bronx Friday, the FDNY said.
The injuries came as firefighters battled a Friday evening rubbish fire in Throgs Neck which quickly spread to an apartment building and a two-story commercial structure.
It took more than 240 firefighters to fight the flames, which began around 7:30 p.m. behind the apartment building near East Tremont and Randall avenues in Throgs Neck, the FDNY said.
There was some water damage on the second floor of the apartment building and some water damage on the ground floor, the FDNY said. The cause is still under investigation.
