Firefighters toiled all night and were still putting out pockets of fire Friday morning at a building in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown.
Nine people were hurt, eight of them firefighters, but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening.
Responders were called around 8.45 pm Thursday to Mulberry Street for a fire that started on the fourth floor of the city-owned building and extended to the fifth floor and through the roof.
Videos and photos posted to social media showed flames bursting out of windows and flowing heavily from the roof of the building, which Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Twitter was "a pillar to the Chinatown community."
"They did a great job getting to him. This fire seemed out of control."
"It was too dangerous in the building."
