About 250 firefighters and EMTs responded to the fire, which broke out on the top floor of the six-story building in the Sunset Park neighborhood just after 4:30 Wednesday.

Fire officials say four civilians and 19 fire fighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
