The Fire Department is still working to put out the five-alarm fire at a Bushwick warehouse that began on Thursday night. One resident said, "I came out and saw it [Thursday] night around 8 p.m., and it was pretty bad. I went to bed, and came out again this morning and - wow, they're still fighting it!" The warehouse, located on Evergreen between Chauncey and Pilling, was home to a kitchen cabinet-making company. FDNY Deputy Chief Patrick Clifford told NY1, "Part of the building is collapsed. It's still very deep-seated, fires burning throughout. It's a very difficult, stubborn fire at this time." Two firefighters were injured (hundreds have been on the scene) and fire officials are investigating the cause.
