A three-story building collapsed in Flatbush, Brooklyn Wednesday, killing one and injuring 10 others, FDNY officials said.
A photo from the scene at the intersection of Flatbush and Bedford avenues showed firefighters at a construction site filled with debris. The facade of a building appeared to have fallen off, exposing a stairway and clothes stored in a closet.
Fire officials said four people had life threatening injuries and six others had minor injuries. They were being treated at nearby hospitals.
The FDNY said it received a call about the collapse at 2625 Bedford Avenue just after 4 p.m.
The NYPD urged people to avoid the area and to expect street closures and traffic delays.
