MOTT HAVEN, Bronx — A third alarm fireball burned through multiple attached homes in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx.
The fire broke out in one home on East 143rd Street, initially reported to be vacant, at around 2:50 a.m. Wednesday.
Flames quickly spread to as many as four other homes.
All the homes were believed to be vacant.
The building where the fire originated totally collapsed. Two other buildings partially collapsed.
FDNY Assistant Chief Kevin Brennan said no civilians were injured. One firefighter sustained minor injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Fire ripped through the same buildings back on October 8, 2021.
The four buildings on fire Wednesday morning – 416, 418, 420 and 422 East 143rd Street – all have full vacate orders from that fire.
