New York fire LIVE: Huge blaze engulfs apartment building | World | News

In a post on X, the FDNY said they were “responding to a 3-alarm fire at 201 West 107th Street in Manhattan.”

“The fire at 201 West 107th Street has increased to 4th alarm,” the fire department added in an update.

A 4th alarm indicates a large, large-scale fire in New York City that requires significant numbers of firefighters, equipment, and resources, often involves intense flames, wind, or complex building conditions that escalate rapidly beyond initial alarms, and brings in large numbers of engines, ladders, and command personnel to control the fire.
