TRIBECA, NY — More than 200 firefighters battled a multi-floor fire at a building that local preservationists mourned as “historic” on the corner of Murray and Church streets for hours Friday night. Twelve of the firefighters sustained minor injuries in the blaze, according to the FDNY, and were seen being rushed away from the scene on gurneys as thick, black smoke filled the neighborhood.
All the firefighters were transported by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, the FDNY said.
