At least two firefighters and four civilians were hurt when a construction crane caught fire and collapsed in the Hell’s Kitchen area of Manhattan Wednesday morning, July 26, officials said.
A fire department spokesperson said the crane’s engine compartment caught fire around 45 stories above the ground.
The crane was atop a vacant building that had been under construction, according to the FDNY.
Footage captured by a local resident shows smoke billowing from the blazing crane, as well as its collapse on Wednesday morning.
