A mid-morning fire left five people with injuries in Brooklyn on Thursday.

At just before 10 a.m. on Feb. 1, FDNY units arrived at 852 4th Ave. Upon their arrival, firefighters found two victims semi-conscious in a second-floor apartment. A pair of other victims were removed from the rear of the three-story brick building.

The fire was placed under control at 10:30 a.m. Fire Marshals will determine the cause and origin of the fire.
