NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A firefighter is dead and five others have been hurt battling a warehouse blaze in Bushwick.

All six were taken to Woodhull Hospital. Two were in critical condition and four were in serious condition when they were taken to the hospital.

Sources tell CBS 2 that a FDNY lieutenant was one of the firefighters inside the warehouse battling the blaze. Minutes after the lieutenant emerged from the warehouse, he went into cardiac distress. He was taken to the hospital and died.

The 3-alarm blaze broke out at around on Flushing Avenue in Bushwick at around 1 p.m. and was brought under control just before 4 p.m.
