A fire in Brooklyn Criminal Court injured eight state court officers and five firefighters and forced an early recess Wednesday afternoon. The 4:04 p.m. blaze on the sixth floor generated heavy smoke that led to the evacuation of the 10-story building in downtown Brooklyn. "There was a lot of smoke in the hallway," said one court staffer who declined to give his name. "We had to get out quick. "No clue what caused the fire," he added. A court officer in the area said emergency responders were forced to kick out the windows of a courtroom to air it out.
