The FDNY on Tuesday responded to a massive fire at an NYPD evidence station in Brooklyn.
Three New York City firefighters were injured Tuesday morning while battling a 3-alarm fire that broke out at an NYPD warehouse in Brooklyn. FDNY responded to a call from an NYPD Evidence control and impound warehouse at 700 Columbia St, Brooklyn, at about 10:37 a.m. Firefighters arrived on scene to see a"large volume of fire," Fire Chief John Hodgens said. The firefighters attempted an interior fire attack but quickly became"overwhelmed" and switched to an exterior attack. A section of the building later collapsed. Three marine fireboats were called in to assist with extinguishing the flames.
Hodgens said three firefighters, three EMS personnel and two civilians have received minor injuries. The fire is expected to last several days until it will be fully extinguished. Hodgens said the warehouse is an older building with"collapse potential" and many combustibles. Most of the contents inside are believed to have been damaged in the fire.
NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey said the warehouse contained biological evidence, motorcycles and other vehicles.
