Video: FDNY tackles rooftop fire at clothing store

Footage from the scene shows FDNY firefighters using ladders to gain roof access and extend hoselines

By FireRescue1 Staff

NEW YORK — Two people were injured and more than 100 firefighters responded to a fire at a Manhattan store Monday morning.

The cause of the fire at the Urban Outfitters store was not immediately known.

Video footage from the scene shows FDNY firefighters using ladders to gain roof access and extend hoselines.

Firefighters vent the roof and attack flames as smoke billows around them.

The footage, apparently shot from a higher angle from a nearby building, also shows a civilian attempting to fight a large swath of flames on the roof with a fire extinguisher.
