VIDEO: Several people were injured, including three firefighters, in a fast-moving fire that broke out at an apartment building in the Bronx and spread to another. The fire started just after 5 p.m. on Thursday at a low-rise apartment building located at 4055 Carpenter Avenue in the Wakefield section, according to FDNY officials. Four people were injured including three firefighters and one civilian. Officials say the civilian and one of the firefighters were more seriously injured due to smoke inhalation. Roughly 200 fire personnel rushed to the scene to fight the four-alarm blaze. Citizen App video captured flames on the roof of the building. The inferno started near Carlos Cabrera's fifth floor apartment. "I just want to go home and my home is gone, I have no home no more," Cabrera said.
