9 Firefighters Hurt In Upper Manhattan Blaze

NEW YORK (AP) ― The Fire Department says nine firefighters have been taken to hospitals after an apartment building blaze in upper Manhattan, but their injuries appear to be minor.
 
Firefighters say one civilian also was hurt and treated at the scene of Friday's fire on Hillside Avenue, near the Inwood neighborhood.

It took more than 140 firefighters nearly an hour and a half to gain control of the three-alarm blaze, reported shortly after 2:30 p.m. It began on the first floor of a six-story building.

The cause is under investigation.
