NEW YORK (AP) — Officials say two firefighters were inside a multi-family home in the Bronx when a blaze led to a partial collapse of the building.

The firefighters survived with minor injuries. Seventeen firefighters and two civilians in total were injured. None of the injuries were life-threatening. Flames spread to five other surrounding buildings.

An FDNY spokesman said Saturday the fire in the Parkchester neighborhood was under control.
