"According to FDNY sources, the four-alarm inferno erupted from the top floor of an apartment building located at 201 West 107 St., near Amsterdam Avenue, at 8:20 a.m. on Dec. 9. The six-story building quickly became engulfed in smoke as flames shot from the window and through the roof. This building is a six-story, non-fireproof building with four apartments per floor."
"FDNY officials say 40 units and 140 firefighters and EMS personnel responded to the calamity in just over three minutes. Officials quickly called a third alarm within 15 minutes and then a fourth alarm by 9:10 a.m., expanding the response as the flames grew and debris began to fly from the upper parts of the structure. Videos circulating online show what appears to be bricks and other pieces of debris falling from the building."
