An all-hands fire tore through a Bath Beach apartment building on Sunday night after a resident said she dropped a candle inside her apartment.
The fire broke out on the second floor of a six-story building at 8714 21st Ave. just before 7:30 p.m., according to the New York City Fire Department. As firefighters arrived on the scene, residents fled the building holding personal items, clothes, and pets.
A team of 60 firefighters quickly deployed two hose lines to battle the thick smoke and flames rolling out of the second floor, and brought the blaze under control shortly after 8 p.m. Two firefighters were injured during the incident, and were transported to the Maimonides Bay Ridge Emergency Department by ambulance.

VIDEO: About 300 people climbed to the sky Sunday for the FDNY Foundation Climb to SUMMIT at One Vanderbilt.
They went up 93 floors – which is 1100 feet.
The goal of this 2nd annual climb was to spotlight the importance of fitness for FDNY firefighters, EMTs and paramedics.
Timothy Clarke was the first FDNY firefighter to complete the course. He’s been a firefighter for nine years and has had to travel up 40 floors in his gear before.
“New York City is one of the most challenging environments in which you can be a firefighter. We have over 6000 skyscrapers in this city,” Clarke said. “So being a New York City firefighter means walking up stairs. It’s just a part of the job. So physical fitness is a part of that so I came out here and others did to embody that.”
