BROOKLYN, NY — A fast-moving fire burned through an apartment building in Brooklyn in the early morning hours on Thursday, leaving two firefighters with minor injuries, authorities said.

The fire started just before 3:30 a.m. in a two-story building on 48th Street in Sunset Park, FDNY officials said.

Citizen video shows the smoky scene as firefighters put out the flames on the two-alarm fire.

An FNDY representative said the flames started in the basement and then spread to the first floor.

There were no injuries; however, 14 residents in the building were temporarily displaced because of the damage, authorities said.

An NYPD spokesperson told Patch on Thursday that the American Red Cross helped the displaced residents find shelter.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation Thursday morning, authorities said.
