"A five-alarm fire tore through a Bronx deli, ripping through five floors above, early Monday morning, FDNY officials and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said. The fire department said the inferno erupted at 1365 Findlay Ave. in Claremont Village, just before 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 5. After receiving a call about the blaze at around 3:18 a.m., firefighters arrived to find heavy fire emanating from the street-level deli."
"In a flash, the fire spread to the third and subsequent floors; about 270 firefighters and paramedics were at the scene. Firefighters left the building and made an exterior attack. They then returned to fight the blaze, using multiple hoses to extinguish the main body of the fire. The devastating fire left one FDNY member and a civilian with minor injuries; EMS brought them to an area hospital for evaluation."
