12 Hurt When 2-Alarm Fire Rips Through Building In Manhattan's Little Italy
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A dozen people were hurt when a fire ripped through a building in Lower Manhattan Saturday morning.
The FDNY says flames broke out at 146 Mulberry St. in Little Italy around 7:30 a.m.
The building houses Angelo's of Mulberry Street, a well-known restaurant dating back over 100 years, and apartments above.
The blaze reached two-alarms before firefighters were able to bring it under control.
Of the 12 people hurt, two of the injuries were serious but non-life-threatening.
Officials said the blaze was accidentally caused by the careless disposal of smoking materials.
