No residents were hurt.Ī spokesperson for the Red Cross said that two households were receiving temporary lodging, while two other families had relocated on their own. Half a dozen firefighters were hospitalized with minor injuries, authorities said. Roughly 170 firefighters spent over six hours battling the “tremendous volume of fire,” according to FDNY Assistant Chief Tom Currao. The blaze was first reported shortly before midnight on Saturday in the rear of the ground floor restaurant, before spreading throughout the four story mixed-use building and becoming a five-alarm fire, officials said. A massive fire ripped through the Dim Sum Palace restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown overnight on Sunday, officials said, leaving half a dozen firefighters injured and multiple families displaced.
