Upper West Side four-alarm fire leaves two residents, one firefighter injured

Two civilians and one firefighter were injured in a fast-moving Upper West Side fire on Tuesday morning.

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. Upon arrival, we had heavy, heavy fire on that top floor and through the roof. Fire heavily involved three of those four apartments,” FDNY Chief of Operations Kevin Woods said. “We had to remove them below that top floor and open up with tower ladders, these are large caliber streams, and able to extinguish that fire.”
