A five-alarm fire burned through a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The fire broke out in the mixed-use building on Union Avenue at around 5:30 a.m. Friday.
The three-story building could be seen burning with smoke pluming right next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway from Newscopter 7.
A deli appeared to be on the first floor with apartments on the second and third floors.
"We had pockets of fire throughout the whole building, which is taxing. it takes a lot of resources, we have a lot of opening up to do," said Christopher Gaby, FDNY Battalion Chief. "Basically the ladder companies have to open up the walls, check for extension. We have to have hose lines for the engine companies on every floor of basically both buildings. So, that's basically what was going on. But like I said, the main fire started it looks like in the deli."
