Nine city firefighters were taken to the hospital Monday after battling a four-alarm fire in a Brooklyn auto shop. The New York City Fire Department says it started around 10:30 a.m. inside an Auto Zone located at 561 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush and quickly spread."We had a lot of fire in the store in the front and also on the left hand side. As soon as we opened the roll down gates there was fire. Our units operated inside for at least 10 minutes but the amount of fire was just too much. We pulled them out for their own safety, part of the ceiling started to come down," said one fire chief on the scene.
