OTBKB has all the scoop (as well as pics and video).

Apparently a fire broke out in an apartment building on 3rd street between 5th and 6th Aves around 3:30am this morning.

Three people were taken to the hospital; one for burns and 2 for smoke inhalation. 6 families were displaced.

The Red Cross was there, as well as the Daily News, so shit looked serious.

I hope everyone is ok.

UPDATE: More scoop here.
