A fire that broke out around 2 a.m. on Sunday resulted in four injuries at an apartment building on Columbus Avenue and 95th Street. The fire was called in at 2:23 a.m on the ninth floor of 700 Columbus Avenue. The four civilians who were injured were transported to the hospital.
A West Side Rag reader who lives in a nearby building tells us that neighbors there spotted a group of three or four young men sitting on a bench behind the Citi Bike installation at 95th and Columbus opposite the affected building, and setting off fireworks across the street — directly outside the building that experienced the fire. The reader called 911 multiple times before the incident.
The fire drew a large response from FDNY, as seen in the video below.
