A massive fire broke out in a high-rise building in New York City on Saturday morning, mobilizing a large fire department, according to local authorities.
The fire broke out shortly after midnight in a 17-story building in the Bronx and spread to the top two floors, affecting several apartments.

The cause has not been officially determined, but reports suggest a gas leak caused the explosion. The New York Fire Department said it was a “very serious incident” with more than 200 firefighters battling the blaze. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined and it is not clear if there were any injuries.

However, witnesses reported seeing residents hanging from windows. Videos posted on social media showed flames engulfing part of the building's upper floors, with thick smoke visible from a long distance. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fire, while official announcements on the condition of residents and the damage caused are awaited.
