We found fire on the 50th floor of the building. The apartment was entirely on fire. Members pushed in heroically, they were knocking down the fire and found one occupant of the apartment who is in critical condition -#FDNY Commissioner Nigro gives update on 721 5th Ave 4th alarm
This was a very difficult fire. As you can imagine, the apartment is quite large, we are 50 stories up. The rest of the building had a considerable amount of smoke. 200 Firefighters and EMS members are on scene -#FDNY Commissioner Nigro gives update on 4th alarm, 721 5th Ave MN
We had many floors to search, and stairways, and right now the only civilian injury is to the occupant of that apartment. There are four Firefighters with non-life-threatening injuries -#FDNY Commissioner Nigro gives update on 4th alarm, 721 5th Ave Manhattan
The fire is still not considered to be under control because of the smoke conditions on all the floors above -#FDNY Commissioner Nigro gives update on 4th alarm, 721 5th Ave Manhattan
