Nineteen people, including nine firefighters, were taken to hospital after a fire broke out in a 40-story building in New York City early Saturday.
The blaze on the 12th floor of the Second Avenue building in Manhattan's Upper East Side saw 25 fire department units ? a total of 110 firefighters ? go to the scene after the call came through at 3:42 a.m. ET., an FDNY spokesman said.
Some of the firefighters sustained burns that were described as minor, he said.
Ten civilians suffered minor injuries or were affected by smoke inhalation, the spokesman added. The fire was brought under control at 5:34 a.m. ET.
Fire officials said the fire was contained to one apartment, NBCNewYork.com reported.
