Firefighters battled heavy smoke and pulled several people out of a burning apartment in the Bronx.
The fire broke out on the 12th floor of the condo building on Metropolitan Oval in the Parkchester section around 1:30 a.m.
Firefighters busted the glass windows to try to let out some of the smoke.
"I was sleeping in the corner of my room and I didn't know. When I opened the door, I learned that there was something burning and the smell came out," said Mohammed Malik, nextdoor neighbor.
"What does the hallway look like?" Eyewitness News asked.
"It's filled with water and ashes," Malik said.
The flames were put out quickly, but four people suffered injuries.
Emergency workers could be seen doing chest compressions on one victim in the back of an ambulance.
A man and woman are both in critical condition at Jacobi Medical Center. A teenage boy is said to be in serious condition. A fourth person was treated at the scene.
