Nineteen firefighters and four civilians were injured during a six-alarm fire yesterday in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn, New York.

Fire Department of New York (FDNY) crews had to contend with heavy winds during the fire. The roof of the building collapsed during the fire, and officials say the building housing 54 apartments is uninhabitable, according to a report from WABC. The winds forced firefighters to operate from the exterior.
